It wasn't a joyful reunion like I'd hoped. Turns out, the cat ended up here because the family was visiting "grandma". They brought the cat, and left it because they really didn't want it anymore. It seems Grandma isn't too crazy about it, either, and is letting it outdoors. I don't understand going to the expense, for one thing, of microchipping/declawing/tagging a cat if you don't care much about it. I don't understand a lot of this deal, though. There's not much I can do. It's being fed well and not neglected in any form. Except emotionally? There are far too many people, still, who regard a companion animal as a "thing" rather than a living, breathing creature with feelings.

Oh, that makes me sad. Does it make you wish you'd never tried to contact
them? It makes *me* wish that! Not that I blame you, you did the right thing. I'm just sorry it turned out this way. Poor kitty... Unless it's some sort of purebred (with resultant "snob appeal"), perhaps you could persuade them to let you take it off their hands? Joyce No, I tried. Well, sort of. I gave her my Humane Society card and told her if she didn't want it I was *sure* we could find it a good home. She said no, her granddaughter would be mad if she gave it away. Next door to my sister is my nephew next door to him is my other nephew, and next door to him is my son's house. Next door to my son is a rental house we have that my daughter will be moving into for 6 months while her house is being built. Next door to that house is the house the cat lives. So the whole block is family. That cat won't want for people watching out for him at least. Sherry
