It’s been several days and I have not caught anything in the trap, not even a rodent. So I’m going to freshen the food and move it to a different spot. Hopefully I will have better luck.
Last night I received a call from someone saying he had a black cat in his apartment and he thought it might be India. He said it had green eyes and looked just like the picture in the Craigslist ad. I asked about the kink in her tail, and he said he was not really comfortable around cats and didn’t want to handle it. We were just finishing dinner so I said I would come over and see if it was India. I didn’t think it was wise to go to a strange apartment all alone, so I called Holly and asked if she would go with me. The kids stayed home with Geoffrey. We got to the apartment and the guys who lived there were very nice and showed us the room where the cat was hiding. She had wedged herself between the hamper and the wall. She seemed too small to be India, though after two months she could have lost weight. But I felt her tail and it was straight and true. It wasn’t India. Nevertheless, we couldn’t just leave her here.

India was not there today, but there was a black cat. It was the very same one that my neighbors have seen and thought it might be India. This particular cat has been roaming our neighborhood since the summer, and various neighbors have taken her in during inclement weather. I think I know where she lives, but I am also fairly sure that they don’t really want her back. She didn’t get along well with their other cat and ran off. Her paperwork listed her as possibly feral because when she was brought in she was really freaking out. I told the attendant her story and let them know she is not feral. They were glad for the information. I’m sad for her that she isn’t wanted and that coming to the Humane Society was so stressful for her, but with winter setting in I think this is probably in her best interest. I would have taken her myself but there is Henna to consider. With India missing I don’t think Henna would be very appreciative if we brought another cat into the house. And if India ...
