Cat at large and acquisitive

[paulpinecone.livejournal.com]

I swore I would never do this...

My new cat Charm who has graced these pages once before has again gone AWOL.  This time he slipped his collar and so is currently unlabeled.

As I speak he is almost certainly in one of your houses, eating a can of tuna and explaining how terribly I neglect him.  If it's _your_ house, please let him out and he will return to home base like a Roomba.  A new collar awaits with a trickier clicky sticky safety thingie that will hopefully confound the beast.

I am sorry to clog such a large community with these tribulations, but there is only so much tuna in the world and left unchecked he will soon exhaust it.  I suspect this latest excursion may be just a publicity stunt to popularize his LJ at http://community.livejournal.com/charmfriends

No chance he's wearing a red collar with no tags, is there?
(I realize you said he slipped his collar, but I thought I'd check just in case.)
A very friendly cat that looked a lot like this, but was wearing a red (I think, it was dark, so not positive on the whole about the description, but enough that this pic caught my eye) collar with no tags tried to come inside with me last night (Saturday). I did not take him inside, so hopefully he'll find his way home soon if it is Charm, but I'm happy to tell you where this was if you want to go looking.

It is not likely. If he gets outside he will come home so he can ask me where I've been. Tnx

Oh, darn. I think I saw him by my house on Charnwood late afternoon yesterday (Saturday) as I was heading out to see the fireworks at Assembly Square. When I came back, he was gone, or I would have taken him in.

You see his sinister modus operandi. I will knock on a few doors on Charnwood. Tnx

If you have not found your cat already, here he is:

Please consider keeping him indoors.

Bless you! Hadn't seen that one yet.

As you can see though, he has not exactly been in peril, but is instead guilty of using his terrible hypnotic powers to charm the neighbors. I think the new collar will do the trick, and he is running out of neighbors upon whom to ply his tale of woe.

It does seem that indoor pets are much more the norm than when I was growing up. Still, I've seen about a dozen cats who wander in the environs of Hancock St. I think they look happier than those they pass sitting in windows.

I got him rabied, chipped, snipped, nutrified and flea treated. Trained him to flee from cars and not climb trees. All in all he's probably better equipped to face the world than I am.
