Martin AustermuhleYou know the crazy cat lady that often appears on episodes of The Simpsons? The one who’s always screaming gibberish and throwing cats at others? Apparently she and her ilk have a thing for the region.
NBC 4 is reporting that 86 dogs and cats were removed from a Stafford Suffolk, Va., home where a married couple lived with their 12-year-old son. So bad were the conditions in the house — none of the animals had the necessary shots or licenses, many lacked medical attention and their kennel area was inhabited by rats — that the house itself had to be condemned. It was just last year that another Northern Virginia home was found to be populated with 488 cats, 222 of them dead. Virginia may not have a monopoly on crazy cat ladies, though. Last November, District authorities removed 56 cats from a house in Northeast.
Seriously, people. The Humane Society exists for a reason.
