OT: Our intruder finally goes home. After a few days, I got a phone call from someone who was at work but said a friend had seen our posters of a found cat. She texted me photos, and it was the kitten we had in our spare bedroom, and that her name was Melody, but she answered to Kitten. I was very pleased and looking forward to her being picked up, but it took several more days. The owner said that she had to go away from an emergency, and we ultimately looked after her for 3 more days, getting rather worried we’d never give her back to her real owner.
Finally, she dropped by at lunchtime today, just before we were going out, and explained that she’d had to see her mother in Woy Woy. She said Melody had been with a friend who couldn’t keep her, and was about to be sent to the pound, so she took her. She’s clearly very fond of the kitten, and giving her back safe and sound was a lovely feeling, as sad as it was to see her go.
OT: we have an intruder. Last night we heard loud meowing, which we thought was coming from the TV, but no cats in Firefly Lane. On investigation, we found a small cat with a giant tail in our apartment building, meowing loudly. As it was 10:30 PM at night, we brought her in. The current resident, Missy, is very unimpressed and is circling outside the door. When we got Missy from the RSPCA, we were told she didn’t want to live with other cats. This is clearly true.
We’ve put up notices on social media, and a couple of posters out. We’ll see how it goes.
