"Gizmo" (1 Month Old Kitten) JAILED In NY!

<snip>

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York City transit police prowling the subway for scofflaws jailed a month-old kitten this week.

"Gizmo," a black and white kitten, and its owner, Angel Melendez, were placed in a city lockup early on Tuesday after an officer cited the 35-year-old subway musician for having an uncaged animal inside the subway system.

The incident was the latest example of what critics say is a ticketing blitz designed to help the cash-strapped city. Recently, officials fined a man for sitting on a milk crate and ticketed a woman for talking loudly to her neighbor.

Officials deny increased ticketing and statistics show the number of summonses has not risen.

Melendez was playing plastic drums in Manhattan's 14th Street station when police issued him a summons for having the kitten on a bucket next to him, lawyer David Kapner said. The kitten was sound asleep.
