I got a notice in the mail from the county, saying they were aware I own a dog over 4 months of age, and I have 15 days to get him a license. When I flipped it over, there was Stimpy's name and when he's next due for a rabies vaccination.

Stimpy is a cat.

While you can license your cat, it's not mandatory. I called, waited on hold for about ten minutes (are there that many people in Orange County calling about dog licenses?), informed them of their mistake, and they told me to disregard the notice. I was little suprised they didn't insist on some kind of proof (please send us a photograph, a paw print, and a stool sample, please).

I guess vets must have to submit their vacination records or I wouldn't have gotten this notice. He had to have a shot before he had surgery last fall, and any of his previous records are shut up in an animal hospital that has been condemned since someone ran into the front door with a car over a year ago.

That is damn funny - thank you. So if you don't want to be a dog, it's easy to get out of, but if you don't want to be a human, you have to submit proof!

Guess the vet did not recognize the fact Stimpy is a cat...

Or was Stimpy wearing Inu ears that day?

Actually, Inuyasha's ears don't look all that different from cat ears to me. Now if he had great big floppy ears that flapped in the breeze...

I guess it'd be hard to tell them from the hair.
