Missing- Update

Apparently Mr. Pretty is still M.I.A. There is now a bounty of $500 for his return. I call it a bounty instead of a reward 'cause I still think he escaped. That's a cat on the lamb. I'd check the border crossings. Its been almost a week. Surely his in Mexico by now.

As for my other missing friend...no sign of him. There are new signs around the neighborhood urging everyone to check in their "garages, tool sheds, behind bushes, and in garbage bins.....". Almost sounds like places Mr. Pretty would hide, not a large, 63 year old retired teacher with dementia. Maybe I should also check under my bed and between the sofa cushions too. I always find stuff there.

I do know one thing...if I ever go missing, I don't want to have some awful picture, like my high school yearbook picture with my high hair and faux fur collar, plastered on signs all over the neighborhood. So for future reference to my friends and family, please use one my my pictures from my facebook profile, preferably the more flattering ones.

MIA

GPS, LoJack, microchips, medic alert bracelets......none of them is as good as an old fashion photo copied sign on a tree. I found these two signs on trees no more than 10 feet from each other.

I feel rather sorry for both these poor lost souls. One answers to "Mr. Pretty" and the other might, depending on if he's taken his medication or not. People with dementia wander off all the time. I'm sure he got disoriented and just couldn't find his way back.

The Berman (type of fancy pants cat) isn't lost at all. I suspect he escaped from his overbearing owner. I don't blame him. With a name like Mr. Pretty, I'm sure its hard to maintain your street cred. Enjoy your freedom Mr. Pretty. I'm rooting for you.
