kitten escape...

[jay]

The good news... the kitten is 4.5 lbs and healthy, and had a second round of shots today. The bad news... he ran out the front door just now, while patgreene was carrying something in. Back out where his feral relatives live... I don't know what to suggest, other than leaving the doors open and food out and hoping he returns on his own. He has a collar, but no nametag... Pat and the kids are really upset.

[Update: the red collar was very helpful... we spotted him in a tree. Eventually he came down and over to James, who just stroked him and eventually picked him up. :)]

What a relief! And it's really cool that he considers you folks safe to approach now. James did a nice job by approaching him slowly and petting him rather than trying to dive in and grab.

There's a machine that makes pet nametags at that big box pet store near where Rengstorff meets 101 - you pay for a token for the machine at the cash register, and then you can type in your phone number and the pet's name and it gets engraved in a few minutes while you wait.

Oh my... I'm sure you're all so relieved (and I am too), that things turned out ok.

As first attendant to an indoor-only kitty who bolted outside in the dead of last winter, I can share your delight in being reunited.

*yay James*

For me, any kitty getting loose is a *nightmare*.
