George W.'s cat missing?

[tatsxxx11]

O.J. Simpson, Waco and the metric system!!This is TOO funny! Pet Talk and politics. Who'd a thunk it!?? Now we reveal our TRUE selves! I think I'd better refrain from revealing my political affilitations! Ben...I'm more along your line of thinking. After all. My "Star," the infamous yellow lab made me do it. You know, Buddy and all! I KNOW there's a Saturday Night Live skit in here somewhere!

Local (Portland, OR) TV had a short bit about Ernie this evening. So sounds like they are really looking for him.

I wonder if he was wearing a tag. I was watching Miracle Pets tonight and a cat from Colorado accidentally got into a moving truck headed for Canada. Fortunately for the cat's owner (and the kitty ) the cat was wearing a collar with a tag. The people in Canada called the number and they were reunited. He had been gone about 2 months! Anyway, here's hoping if Ernie does have a tag that someone will call instead of keeping him for themselves.

I didn't vote for Bush but I'm concerned about Ernie just the same. Cats don't care about your political affiliation--personally I think there's a lot of Republican about them, as they are known for their self-reliance and independence, but it takes someone with a Democratic sense of tolerance to see beyond their aloofness and find the affectionate creature underneath that standoffish disposition. (I know there are many who might disagree with my analysis; feel free to write your reactions!)

I heard some have speculated that Ernie may be hanging out in Malibu--hope that story's true, and that some Baywatch lifeguard with keen eyes would take Ernie home safe and sound! That is, if the lifeguard doesn't decide to keep Ernie first!

Remind me...why was it the Weeds...er, Bushes, couldn't be bothered to take their pet to Washington with them? Tells you how you can trust the guy when he says "No CHILD" will be left behind.

Thanks, Karen, for letting us know! I wish all lost pet incidents turned out his happy. I hope Ernie has learned his lesson about wandering around after dark!

[Logan]

I seem to be in the minority here...but I'm still a Bush fan, and delighted that Ernie Bush has been found!!!!

[Maresche]

Thank you so much for the update. I hadn't heard yet that Ernie had been found. I'm really glad he has been found Too many other cats aren't as lucky. Thank you again.

[Pam]

Maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't Ernie look a little like Butter? I can't remember where Butter's picture is posted.

[Pam]

Oops! Hope I'm never called to identify anyone in a police line-up!

ALL RIGHT ERNIE!! What a survivor, on the streets of L.A. I'm so glad he was found. Many thanks to that security guard who spotted Ernie and remembered seeing his story on t.v. Hooray! Now don't run away again, Ernie! Everyone missed you so! He really is a cuddly-looking, handsome cat.

I'm elated to hear that Ernie's back, safe and sound with the Freemans...so much for my fantasy that a hunky Baywatch lifeguard would find him gallivanting in the beaches of Malibu!

BTW, Spencer, would you happen to have the words to "Felis catus", Data's poem dedicated to Spot? I've heard of it before but never saw the full text. Thanks in advance.
