Usually, when politicians try to get into you wallet, they’ll say “It’s for the children!” to tug at your heartstrings. The Times takes pains to point out the down economy is not only placing strains on families but also on fluffy kittens and puppies too. Calls for help in feeding animals nearly doubled last month to 225 in a city of 8,000,000.

It’s an outrage! $700 bln for Wall St fatcats but not a penny for Tabby?
