What is that?

Feral cats that have been trapped, fixed, and released are ear tipped (end of one ear clipped off). The tipping makes it obvious so they aren’t needlessly trapped again.
But since they’ve been fixed they can’t reproduce more ferals.

We must rise up and say, “No, cats! You shall not pass!” Let’s fortify our buses, reinforce our classrooms, and unite as a community to stop this furry uprising before it begins. Together, we can prevent a world where science fair projects are destroyed by paw prints, lunch trays are raided by whiskered marauders, and the morning pledge is drowned out by relentless meowing. The time is now—stand with me, and let’s keep our schools cat-free and chaos-free!

Between the outrage at things like feral cats, and then attacking people who joke about the cats or ask questions with accusations of "YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CHILDREN" it's no wonder people perceive them as loony tunes.

You mean here on DCUM or somewhere else? Can you link?

Nevermind. I found it. That's some craziness over there. Yeah, cats can really push open closed school bus doors with their paws. And the photo is from Google Earth. What kind of person chooses to spend their time analyzing random photos like that?

Cats and raccoons

The bus doors don't lock. The cats are in the buses.
