Chaton (Kitten)Update

A friend of ours saw the couple who rented our house in 2009, Jake and Sara, the other night and told them that their cat was at our house. Jake replied that their cat wasn’t missing. We were puzzled!  So we took a picture of the cat and emailed it to Jake and Sara.  Meanwhile, Peggy heard conversations deteriorating into expletives and threats when Ed and the kitty were on the back porch together.  The verbal stuff was interspersed with the sounds of collections of screws and fasteners being knocked off the washing machine.  It seemed to Peggy that this saga might not end well.  Then last night Sara stopped and indeed the black cat is theirs. Seems that Chaton (French for kitten) had run away some nine months ago! If only cats could talk. Where had he been? Who fed him? Was he temporarily adopted? Regardless, he seemed well fed and pretty happy. So, Sara took Chaton home. She also gave us cell phone numbers if  he “visits” again. We have some cat food here. Just in case.
