A petition drive launched by a Jamaica Plain cat owner after the MSPCA euthanized his pet leaves out key information about the elderly feline, the JP-based animal advocacy organization announced Wednesday.

Dryden, a cat with six toes on each paw who enjoyed knocking over cups of water, never left Benjamin Day’s JP yard. But when the elderly, sick cat didn’t show back up one recent Sunday night, his owner started posting flyers. On Tuesday the owner checked in with the JP-based MSPCA to find that, only hours earlier, the animal welfare organization had euthanized his cat.
Our Photo of the Day comes from Instagram user smpefkaros, who captured this exultant feline on a Hyde Square sidewalk.
For our “Throwback Thursday” Photo of the Day, we feature an image of old JP. Here’s famous Boston photographer Leslie Jones capturing a moment with a cat in Franklin Park in November 1928.
Each weekday we post a random image from around the neighborhood. Here is one of JP’s well-known shop cats, Ivy of Ivy Insurance on South Street. She’s philosophically framed by JP artist Lindsay Metivier.
