I’ve always wondered about those stories of pets finding their way across unfamiliar terrain to get back home. Now we have a Front Porch Forum version. First, Lara posted her “lost cat” announcement on her new neighborhood’s forum and got no response. Then, she got it posted on an FPF neighborhood forum in Burlington’s South End…
I moved from Adams Street [in the south end] last month to Rose Street in the north end. Since Monday night (10/15), my cat Pickle has been missing. He’s a black and grey tiger-striped short hair. He’s long, lean, and very soft. He’s also double-pawed (he has extra toes that make it looks like he has thumbs). He may be making his way back to our old place. Photos on MySpace and SnapFish. Please call with ANY sightings at 802-318-6125. Thank you!
Now today we see…
The Cat Came Back! Actually, Pickle didn’t technically come back. He went all the way to our old place on Adams Street in the south end! It took him 10 days, but the new tenant Rebecca called me this morning to say that Pickle was on her front porch. He’s healthy (not a scratch), happy, and finally home. THANK YOU to everyone who contacted me with possible Pickle sightings. We moved to ONE a month ago, and I can’t tell you how much it means to me that my new neighbors are so thoughtful. And yay Front Porch Forum!!
