Town Residents Question Wisdom of Kitten Fire Chief

Town Residents Question Wisdom of Kitten Fire Chief

Two weeks ago, Wolfie the cat was named fire chief of Allentown, PA.  At the time, the press hailed the decision to name a feline fire chief evidence of improving human-animal relations, but new reports about his first few days in office are causing some to question the wisdom of that move.

The Allentown Bugle reports that Wolfie has spent $4,000 of the town’s fire safety fund on “catnip toys” and has diverted some money ear-marked for hydrant maintenance to “laser pointers.”  Further, witnesses report seeing Wolfie nap through 911 drills at least twice since assuming his new post.   The fire department could not be reached for comment.
