The Salem Police would appreciate everyone moving their cats as soon as possible

http://www.boston.com/news/animals/2016/03/21/salem

Salem is a city unafraid to embrace its mystical history, with a downtown thoroughfare full of psychics and gift shops like Crow Haven Corner, and historical tours chronicling the Salem witch trials from companies like Black Cat Tours.

So it wasn’t completely shocking when, for a brief moment this morning, it appeared the city had an excess amount of cats, thanks to an errant tweet from the Salem Police Department.

While attempting to inform residents that the city was ending the snow-fueled parking ban at 10 a.m., the Salem Police fell victim to the modern black magic known as auto-correct.

Naturally, the jokes poured in.

I've taken to texting on my phone, these days, and though I've gotten more used to it, I keep seeing words I never use instead of what would make sense.
