Some of you may remember that a couple months ago I asked for a purrs
for a customer's missing cat, Maya. My neighbor was moving, and like
so many stories I've heard in the past, the movers opened a door that
was supposed to stay closed. Maya, a strictly indoor cat, bolted
outside and disappeared.

Well, today I learned that, after missing for about 6 weeks, the
neighbors found Maya. She had found her way home and was hiding under
the new tenants' car. The neighbors tried to feed her, but
unfortunately, Maya had been injured, or possibly poisoned. She could
barely walk, and was convulsing. Ultimately she had to be helped on
the way to the RB.

Although I never had the pleasure of actually meeting Maya, she used
to sit in the window and supervise me while I worked. Please join me
in lighting a candle for Maya, and purr for the nice cat-lady who lost
two of her four cats this summer.
