On our morning walk I noticed a sign, complete with picture, on the edge of the community indicating someone had lost their cat. I'm actually slightly amazed at the number of people that have indoor/outdoor cats around here. So on tonight's walk when I saw a cat with a likeness of the sign I wasn't quite sure what to do. The pain in the ass was that the signs were only up on poles at the edge of the community so I had to run and find the house number. The cat was in a storm sewer thingy pretty close to the address on the flyer. Um, I should probably mention that an undisclosed reward was indicated! Anyway, heart thumping, I knocked on the door...no answer. So I went next door...nothing again. Mind you I now live in a townhome community so the doors are like 10 feet from one another. When I could clearly see lights on in the end unit I couldn't wait. I Found The Cat! I Found The Cat! The woman spied me curiously. "Ummm, is your neighbor still missing their cat, because I think I see it in that gutter" I said. "So, that cat is dead." She replied. "Oh, no, no...it's right over there" I said pointing. "I knocked on their door but no one was home." "Oh, Ok, I'll let them know." Hmmm, I was kinda thinking that the neighbor would help me catch it. But since she jumped about a mile when Sophie sniffed her ankle I assume she isn't an animal person. So, now I feel completely guilty! Should I have tried to catch it in a crate or something? I'm not even sure this is the cat! I also left a voicemail but haven't heard anything back yet. I feel so guilty! If Sophie was lost and someone saw her I would be wondering why they didn't try to bring her in. But I also didn't want to get clawed by some random feline. I'm really hope they get reunited; even if I don't get my reward.
