Found: Black and white "tuxedo" cat [xpost:menotomy]

[squirrelitude]

We've got a female black & white "tuxedo" cat here that wandered into our yard Thursday night (May 6), looking very confused. Since it seemed to be declawed (actually, it just has very well-trimmed claws) we took it in. The vet said the cat has been spayed, and could not find a microchip. No one has reported it missing to Animal Control.

Having heard nothing from the owner, we think it is an indoor/outdoor cat, and that it is often gone for long periods. (If so, not cool -- it doesn't have long enough claws to defend itself.) It is staying at a friend's house indefinitely, and if no one claims it, he's keeping it.

We're close to the intersection of Broadway and Mass Ave in Arlington Center. If you are the owner (or have seen a "lost" poster), please call me at 434-964-7592.

broadway and mass ave in cambridge or somerville? There's a cat that looks like this (I can't tell if it's the same cat) that's an indoor outdoor cat near beacon/cambridge st. in somerville not far from mass ave/broadway in cambridge. I see it out all of the time taking walks with its owners. I'll keep my eye out for the cat or any posters just in case it's the same one.

Nope, Arlington Center. I'll edit the post since it wasn't clear.

Cat missing poster

I found a cat missing poster outside my house for a cat that sort of looks like the one you have. Her name is Pixie, has white paws and is a 6-year-old female. The e-mail address on the poster is gkwall27@comcast.net.

I live near Ball Square though -- so that seems a far way for a cat to travel. Then again...my cat likes to hop in strangers' cars, so it is not entirely impossible....

Worth checking with them.

I've sent them an email -- fingers crossed.

Cats can definitely travel a pretty good distance, especially if they are used to being outdoors.

Let us know what happens.
