It's cats vs birds in Cape May
The bird sanctuary in Cape May, NJ, is well known to the bird watching community, and is the home of the World Series of Birding. You didn't know there was a World Series for birds? Well neither did we, but it's a big deal for the state. It's estimated that bird watching activities bring about $2 billion into the New Jersey economy each year, so yeh, we'll give 'em that, it's a big deal.
Folks who live in Cape May, have this thing about cats. They like their cats, a lot. Just about any postcard you see with a Victorian setting has a cat lounging around in it somewhere, and Cape May is a Victorian town.
Cats have kittens, lots of kittens, lots and lots of kittens, and more and more of those kittens aren't finding a home. So you have this small town, with a booming stray cat population, and in this town you have a haven for birds. Are you getting the picture yet? Stray cats on the loose with no place to go, and lots of birds all around. You got it, the feathers are flying, and the birders are getting upset. It's rumored the federal government may step in on the side of the birds, to protect the habitat. To the cat people that means euthanasia for captured cats, and that has the cat folks fuming.
Local officials say it can all be worked out, the cats and birds can live in harmony. If not, a real feud could be brewing. Imagine tree lined streets, horse drawn carriages, and gingerbread houses, then throw in the Hatfields and the McCoys, just for grins.

Cartoon from Sid in the City
rofl
love the post love the cartoon...say.... why do all your cartoon gals seem to be so "well endowed"?
Re: well endowed
The characters are all 'well endowed'? Really? You think? Hmm... I hadn't noticed [hehe].
Being the shallow cad that I am though, if I were given the following multiple choice for using a cartoon character -
a) Jessica Rabbit
b) Olive Oyl
I'd have to go with 'a'.
Popeye and I never seemed to be on the same wavelength in that regard :)
