Police say that Woods is possibly in East York and has been evading authorities since the protective order was issued against him.
In addition to the charges and the protective order against Woods, there is a court-ordered condition that the cat is to be returned if he tries to indicate to someone that it is his.
Police are still seeking Woods, he said.
