It turns out his name is Jake and he had been missing since last weekend. Jake lives about 5 houses further down my street. I've written down his address in case he returns (and put it in my CATS file, the real paper kind).
I let her know that he had stayed in my yard by his own choice since Wednesday, but that I had let him in the basement at night and when it rained. She was very relieved that I had been feeding him and giving him plenty of attention.
She didn't know exactly how he got lost. I didn't think to ask whether he was strictly an indoor cat or not. From the way he stuck right at the deck door (and to me when outside), I suspect he is.
Well, it certainly was an interesting 5 days! I am SO relieved to have found Jake's owner. And it sure saved my taping up a lot more notices. ;) Having lost Tinkerbelle to "wanderlust", I know how upset and sad Jake's girl was feeling.
In celebration of this happy outcome, the cats and I are having shrimp and ham for dinner tonight!

Yeah! ::spin:: What a happy story ::spin:: An Ayla don't haf to worry bout fightin wif hims! ::spin::
You done a good fing.
Yay that you found Blackie/Jake's beans. Did you ask why they haven't had the guy fixed? That to me is important too. Hopefully they will keep him inside.
Derby, I forgot to mention that. The girl said she didn't have enough money when Jake was a kitten. I told her that most local Animal Rescue Shelters to neutering and microchipping these days at very small cost. She said she would consider that.
If Jake shows up here again, I might just offer to do that for them at my own expense. They are on the side of the street that is all rentals, and I know money is sometimes tight for those folks.
And, well, it beats having Ayla chased around the yard...
Yay! Yoo need to give dat gerls parents some information on neutering...we mancats live much healthier and happier lives wifout our, um, nuggets.
Jake's girl seemed very encouraged by the low cost neutering and microchipping programs. So we hope Jake gets those "services"... :)
