Yesterday, we reported on the stabbing at the Occupy Baltimore encampment, which organizers condemned but critics of the protest say is another example of troubles the site has attracted. Police said the stabbing came after an argument over a cat, which begged a little elaboration. Early this morning a member of the movement, Elise Heroux, clarified the circumstances on their message board:

"The true story is: the suspect was keeping a cat in her tent. She hadn't been there for a week, so the cat was left alone in the tent for that time. Other folks claimed to have heard the cat crying that night, and proceeded to cut open the tent to retrieve the cat and take it to a safe place. They then confronted the owner of the tent (suspect) who apparently grabbed the cat out of the hands of whomever was holding it (possibly the victim). A fight then ensued, and I did not witness the rest... Both parties were members of 'the underground'."

"The underground" refers to a group of ravers who have been frequenting the site, organizer Annemarie Rush said yesterday.
