NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson's beloved cat went missing on Monday — but the two were reunited not long after the politician turned to Twitter for help finding the feline.
Mousse, a male, microchipped cat, escaped from Johnson's boyfriend's apartment in Williamsburg, near S. 9th Street and Bedford Avenue, around 2 p.m. on Monday, Johnson tweeted Monday evening.
