Lost Cat Poster
As I was taking the dog for a walk earlier in the day, I came across a poster taped to a mailbox.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF MISSING CAT POSTER
Did you find a black male cat in this neighbourhood back in the fall of 2002?!
Yes, I know this sounds weird, WHY am I looking now? Well, when my beloved Brando first went missing from my house on Huron St. ( he was an indoor cat and managed to escape the balcony), I did a total search for him at the time with no luck. Just recently however, I came across a record of his ear tattoo number that I didn’t think I had! It has haunted me for years not knowing what happened to my Brando and with this new information, I had to give it one more shot.
If by any chance he is still alive, I don’t want to take him away from his “now home”…it would just ease my heart so much to know he had found another home (even if he is no longer around now) and something terrible hadn’t happened to him after he went missing from me.
DISTINGUISHING MARKINGS/ TRAITS
-Male black cat, neutered and declawed (I was young and stupid about how awful declawing was). He would be 12 years old now.
-Left Ear Tattoo—number: HBE 028
-Weird tail—it arched up over his back
-Little tuft of white on front of neck
-He could get pretty vicious when he felt at all threatened and often hissed when it came to strangers ( but I still loved him!!)
IF ANY OF THIS RINGS A BELL FOR YOU, I WOULD BE FOREVER GRATEFUL TO HEAR FROM YOU.
416. XXX. XXXX
I imagine her now a few years out of university. Watching all the college kids washing through the neighbourhood, she might regret the person she was back in school, back when she was just trying to figure it all out. Thinking of all the moments lost and the people she misses now, she hopes for happy endings, and wonders whatever became of her old cat, her faithful companion through those years.
