CAT T R A P P E D
No sweet-tempered angel is the
bob-cat Clayt Rand trapped up Tan
ner creek a week ago Thursday.
The animal, on display in a cage
in the Lakeside hotel lobby, is con
tinually growling and spitting at
anyone who approaches. Clayt is
building a pen for it now, and will
transfer it as soon as the pen is
completed.
The cat emerged from trap with
nothing but slight bruises on its leg.
Clayt says the animal is either too
smart or too sensitive to fight while
in the trap.
