Want a kitty?

[in-parentheses.livejournal.com]

There's a beautiful stripey cat (female, I think, but I haven't pried) in my neighborhood. She's sort of become the neighborhood cat - living on porches up and down the street, getting fed by a variety of people (she's currently feasting on a can of tuna on my porch) - and seems pretty happy with this arrangement for now. But I'm worried about her when it gets cold. She's extremely friendly, talkative, purrs readily, looks healthy and fairly young (2 or 3 years old?)...but she's been living in our neighborhood for a month or two and I haven't seen any signs about her, so I think she's up for grabs. I would take her myself, but a) my apartment doesn't allow pets, and b) realistically I think I'm too allergic for that to be a good idea.

So...somebody out in LJ Land must think their life is incomplete without a small furry beast. Right?

actually, on further reflection, you may want to put up posters ("found cat" or some such) , before trying to find her a home, in case someone actually does own her.

i'd agree with that. it could be that the cat got out of it's own neighborhood when your area "adopted" it. flyer around davis - i've seen flyers for lost stripy cats around througout the summer so someone might really be missing her. (and the cat might be microchipped so someone may want to try checking that out.)

I agree with the posters too. Our 'neighborhood' cat also looks healthy and friendly enough to be owned but with no collar.

What was the colouring for the striped missing cat posters, if they said? The one around here is orange and white.

While we're on the subject there is a sign for a missing black cat in my neighborhood (outside Ball Square) in case any one happens to read this and knows about it.
