Default Why Did I do That?

Cat is front declawed; maybe back, too, but /she won't let me check. I
got all the burrs out of him/her with one of those round dog combs.
This cat has the most intense green eyes I've ever seen. S/he likes
affection, and when bored, s/he makes that godawful racket so I'll
come in there and pet him/her.

Please pray and purr that someone lost this cat and we connect
SOOOOONNNN.

Did you call the area shelters & vets, too? Is there someone who can
post signs around the neighborhood for you? Not saying it will make a
difference but it can't hurt. Good luck with finding the kitty's humans
or at least another forever home. I completely understand why you can't
tackle this yourself right now.

Yeah, that's the problem. I'm so slow and disconnected right now. Plus
I think the onus falls on the owner to make the bigger effort. I'm a
little leery of posting things that pretty much give away everything
about the cat; how do you know the caller didn't just see the poster and
wants to grab a cat for experimentation or something? I like to hold
back photos and a couple of salient clues to the cat's identity so I
*know* I've got the owner.

I do flyers to vets' offices, though. Figure it's safer there. I need
to make one up since I think last time I got the e-mails for three of
the vets in the area.
