Sunday, I saw a man taking his pet cat for a walk.  On a leash.  Oh, you've probably heard this story before, and been skeptical.  Maybe your friend Larry swears his aunt had a cat that didn't mind wearing a collar and a leash, but you shook your head, because you know how Larry is.

But, I have photographic proof.

I tweeted this picture on Sunday, after seeing the man and the cat, just south of Paul Brown Stadium, along the woods that separate the parking lot from the Ohio River. 

Some people tweeted they had heard of a man walking a cat there, but most were silent.  Shaking their heads, thinking I'm just like Larry.  I can understand their doubt.  It's not a great photo.  That black furry blob could be just about anything. 

But, aha!  Tonight, said man and cat were there again.  Only this time, I went up to them.

He doesn't speak English, so, we really couldn't converse.  But, he was proud of his feline friend, and picked the animal up so I could pet it.  The cat wasn't too thrilled, but didn't have much choice, being leashed, and all.

Watching from afar, man and cat seem quite content.  So, good on them both.

Baseball fans often call the 700WLW newsroom, asking why we can't synchronize our air signal, featuring the Hall of Famer, with television coverage of Reds games. 

The answer is filled with legal jargon, and not very exciting.  However, if you're a subscriber to MLB.TV, you'll probably be thrilled by this article at BuzzFeed.
