Let them eat – cats?

There was an essay last week in the Huffington Post about the sometimes mad foibles of the extremely wealthy that included this, rather bizarre reference to the Adirondacks:

I attended a luncheon at the private Club Colette in Palm Beach a few days ago for feral cats.

There are about 400 of these wild animals on the island and they are treated better than the 4,000 homeless across the bridge.

During the luncheon one wealthy matron got up to make her testimonial. “I have 18,000 acres in the Adirondacks,” she said. “I’ll fly some of these cats up there in my private jet.”

Gee, thanks. That’s EXACTLY what we need.

Hat tip to the Adirondack Almanack, who first noticed the reference. Read the original article in HuffPo here.
