Strange!!!

How on earth did this woman get your phone number???!!!

That right there is scary enough for me.

I feel torn, yes, I too would do anything to find my lost pet, but then again, how do you know THIS is really hers? Good thing you asked some questions. But, now this lady knows she has all the claws........beware, you might get another phone call.

And something I just thought of............if her cat was declawed, WHY was it outside??!!

Just my 2 cents here.

Initially I felt just like you Kim - and assumed that the lady was hasty in claiming that Minette was hers - it is so hard to really tell from a picture.

Then I read the responses here and consider that the woman probably was some owner still hoping that she will find her missing pet some 3 years later...

Just recently, hubby and I were leaving the house and saw a black and white kitty outside and we both paniced and were almost POSITIVE that it was Robbie We quickly returned to the house and hubby threw open the door calling for him.....well Robbie sleepily came from down the hall. We had a good laugh and realized that Robbie's markings were really quite different from the cat that we saw outside.

Still, I think it would be unnerving to get that phonecall from someone who saw Minette's drawing in a large public magazine. I hope that nobody else calls

How DID they get your phone number!?!? That would be my biggest concern.

This has happened to me a couple times when one of my fosters is placesd in the newspaper (or on petfinder). People call in hopes it is THEIR lost cat. I feel badly for them when it is not.
