In the fine newsgroup "rec.pets.cats.rescue", Brian Link
artfully composed this message within
on 10 Jul 2004:
But we later found out his origin.. a neighborhood family just
decided they didn't want a cat, so they let him outside and
never let him back in again.
That is exactly how I got my Shadow. I knew who his previous people
were. To think they used to be my friends until they did that.
I'm glad you get to keep your kitty and you've done a good thing.
