Cat Labeled 'Cat'

Garry and Joan Marsh of Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, England adopted a ten-week-old kitten from the local animal shelter and named her Polly.

Three days later, as they admired their new pet’s coloring, they noticed the word “cat” on her left flank.

Mr Marsh, a teacher, said: ‘We were commenting on how symmetrical her tabby patterns seemed when Joan suddenly noticed the letters. ‘Once somebody points it out, it is obvious – the word stands out a mile.’
