STATESMAN.com TAYLOR, TEXAS WATCHVIDEO Police officers sometimes have to tangle with felons. It’s not often they mix it up with felines. Keith Urban, an officer with the Taylor police department, had an unusual run in with a kitten during a traffic stop a few weeks ago on County Road 112 near the Taylor city limits, the Taylor Daily Press reported. During the stop, which occurred in the driveway of an old farming lot, a kitten prancing in the field around the stopped vehicle begins playing with Urban’s ankles, eventually climbing up his side and onto his shoulders. After Urban gently drops the curious kitten to the ground, the cat again climbs Urban’s pant leg, making it again to Urban’s shoulders and tries to get on his head. While giving the driver a ticket, Urban drops the cat to the ground and moves it away with his foot. Police Chief Chief Jeff Straub told the Daily Press that Urban’s actions show “incredible patience on the part of the officer. “What makes it so funny is that he is so cool, and so kind to the cat,” Straub told the Daily Press. “It didn’t really bother me,” Urban told the newspaper. “I didn’t really think a whole lot of it. The cat wasn’t hurting me so I didn’t pay a whole lot of mind to it, but the driver definitely thought it was funny.”
