1552.0. "LOST CAT -- $1,000.00 REWARD" by WITNES::MACONE () Fri Jul 15 1988 09:00

 
    WHO IS STANLEY?
    
    Reprinted WITHOUT permission (of course) from The Townsend Common
    
    
    
    	Where is Stanley the cat?  His owner, Debbie Horn, hopes the
    two-year-old feline has simply gone off on a summer expedition,
    as tomcats often do.
    
    	"He's not an indoor cat," she says.  "He has never strayed before."
    
    	Right now he may be the mst powerful cat in town -- he can make
    his finder $1,000 richer.  Debbie sent out a flyer to town residents,
    offering the reward after she decided he must have left his home
    on BayberryHill Road.  She has also placed two advertisements in
    _The Townsend Common_.
    
    	So far she has had a few calls from people who have seen a black
    cat, but so far it hasn't been short-haired Stanley.
    
    	When asked why she is spending so much money to retrieve the
    cat she replied, "It's my cat.  That's it!"

1552.1	THIS IS NOT, REPEAT * N O T * A GOOD IDEA!!!!!	SWSNOD::DALY	Serendipity 'R' us	`Fri Jul 15 1988 10:19`	17
	Last summer someone in Marlboro offered a big reward for their lost black cat. They posted notices up on all the utility posts in town. As a result, my black cat and the black cat down the street were snatched from their usual "hunting ground" and taken several miles away to the house where the cat was lost. When the two cats were found not to be the lost cats, the "bounty hunting" SOB that snatched the cats in the first place just dumped them. My guy finally came home after a week. The other kitty never made it. There are some people who will only think of the money, not the cat. The reward apeals only to their greed. I figure the bigger the reward, the greater the number of jerks will be pulling kittys out from under cars by their tails just on the chance that they might get the reward. How far is Townsend Common from Marlboro? I figuure a $1,000 reward will probably be responsible for the stealing of every dark cat within 40 miles. Marion
1552.2	Name tags a must!	FRICK::TRAVERS		`Fri Jul 15 1988 10:31`	6
	And that's why both my kitties where tags with their name and my name, address and phone number on it. ^_^ (>.<) ) ( Jeannie
1552.3	ID collar not always a solution	SWSNOD::DALY	Serendipity 'R' us	`Fri Jul 15 1988 10:55`	8
	I will only use the "break away" type collars for the name tags. I have put this type of identification collar on my Shawshie several times. The longest any one of them lasted was 2 days. I believe he has learned how to get them off. Marion
