Cougie, I'm surprised at this news! I was for sure that no one was going to come looking for that cat. After all, it had been hanging around your office for so long, and seemed desperate for attention! That is a tough one. There could be a perfectly good explanation on the part of the owner(maybe they moved and the cat got lost...??), so be sure to find out what happened and definitely stress that the cat should be better looked after or even kept inside! I hate to say this, but if she shows up again...I would take her and give her back to your friend that was going to keep her in the first place!! Something similar happened in my parent's neighborhood one summer when I was home from college. The cutest little orange fluff ball showed up on our driveway, and I thought it was a stray or a dumped pet. (Animals are not supposed to run off lead in this neighborhood, and that includes leaving cats outdoors). So, I took the cat in, and I had found a home for it with one of my friends. Well, the owners came looking for the cat about a week after it was missing and since I wasn't home, my mom gave the cat back and told them to keep it inside. I was so mad when I found out! Sure enough, the next week...guess who came back to our house. Yup! Little furry "buttercup", as we liked to call her. So again, the owner comes a lookin', and once again, my mom says not to let the cat outside. The owner had the gall to say, well, she has food and water out there! So, needless to say, the next time that cat showed up...I picked her up(...her beautiful long orange fur was all dirty and matted) and took her to my friend's who is taking very good care of her! I feel bad about "stealing" someone's pet...but she was not being cared for properly, and I thought she deserved better than that. Surprisingly, the owner didn't come looking that last time...
