Torontoist has noticed that a few cats have made headlines recently. First was Lucky, who ran a campaign for MPP in the Davenport riding, but failed to get on the ballot. In a sadder story, a Mississauga couple are left with fond memories of their beloved Krinkles. While the pet owners were on vacation, their cat was picked up by Mississauga Animal Services. Krinkles had a tag and microchip, and while some efforts were made to contact his peeps, he was euthanized only days later. This is a shout out to Krinkles—you’ll be missed!

Torontoist has noticed an abundance of lost pet notices downtown this month, and what could be sadder, really? We don't know if it's a time of year when pets go missing more often, but we do know it's unlikely to be a result of a Halloween ritual blood sacrifice. Many shelters south of the border report that most of their missing animal calls come on the heels of July 4th fireworks, which often scare a pet out of the house and into hiding.
