figured I'd go ahead and post a real update - both seem to have gotten
over their sores. I had already posted that Frank's abscess seemed to
have healed. His real home is just across the alley from me, but with
my hours I hardly ever see his hoomins, but I assume he was taken to
TED because his fur looks like it was shaved around the sore rather
than just coming out as it does at an abscess wound.

Last night was the first time Gray Kitty graced me with his presence
since he went home after spending a couple nights sleeping on my
patio. He seems fine now, though he looks kind of odd. He's a long
haired cat, and it looks like his hoomins snipped out the mats, and
now he's got sort of a punk haircut going. I used to have a spare
collar with my phone number which I'd put on a cat when I'd wasn't
sure if they had a home, but haven't replaced it since the last one
was lost. I'm thinking I ought to get another and give another try
trying to find Gray Kitty's home. I've managed to get a collar on him
a couple times in the past, but by the next time he comes to visit the
collar is always gone. Don't know if he manages to get it off, or if
his people take it off and just ignore the message to call.
