Lost Semi-Telepathic Cat
FOUND by Jenna T in Albuquerque, New Mexico
This poster appeared on a pole outside my house one night. There were no others like it in the neighborhood, or posted at any stores nearby. I can't imagine how someone lost a cat pulling a wagon with balloons.

Oh goodie! I get to be the first to comment on this treasure. Jenna T made my day!

A cat pulling a wagon with a balloon. No kidding. I think it ran away with the cat in the fancy dress from the earlier find.

OMG no! This is obviously road kill.

"Comes when call" but you don't tell us the cat's name. How can we call it to rescue it when found unless we know what to call it? It's little details like this that make it hard for some to find their lost pets.

Although if they made a cat pull a wagon, it's not so much "lost" as "ran away intentionally."
(How did they manage that one?) My cat had enough to do pulling *himself* around the apartment. Hooking him up to a wagon (or anything else) would have lead to him lying down and looking at me with the expression that clearly said, "Oh. How drole. I don't think so."

That cat IS a balloon! I wonder if its semi-telegraphic status came from them hitching it to the wagon and getting the vague impression it wasn't too enthusiastic?

I like how FOUND covered up the phone number in all places but one. Just in case someone here found the cat and wanted to give them a call?

I know some people who might classify their cats as "telepathic," but certainly not "semi-telepathic." No wonder it didn't want to pull the wagon with the balloon—its people don't have enough faith in its supernatural feline powers.

Want to bet that it turns out the cat is hiding in a box in the attic over the garage, and that the cat's owner printed these posters in a lame attempt to get on a tv reality show?

Oh, Librarian..you beat me to it.

Still..great find. I am going to ponder on this 'semi-telepathic' cat.

Is he telepathic, or is he...

I seriously doubt there ever was a cat.

Oh, Eddy, Cats are REAL! I've seen them! I BELIEVE! Someday, maybe you shall, too.

BBasil, whenever I want to get a cat to come to me, no matter if I know its name or not, I say, "heeeeeeeere, kittykittykittykittykitty!"

Quite often, it works.

Look under the back porch you'll find him - he looks pretty much the same - except the eyes have been chewed away.

Maybe the semi-telepathic cat is hanging out with Thumbcat and Feets? It's an unusual cat club that fights crime. Mostly they defeat evil pantie crickets.

If this kitty was fully telepathic, it would come BEFORE you call it.

As it stands, however, I think the cat in the epicture looks semi-conscious, semi-alive, semi-aware, and semi-catatonic.

What's weird is that area code 404 is Atlanta, GA.

@ Librarian: Or maybe it was giving birth.

404 area code, that's Atlanta. Makes the find even funnier for me. Thanks!

An Atlanta number? How the heck did this get posted on a pole in Albuquerque? (I KNEW I should've taken that left turn at Albuquerque!)

404: Cat not Found. Try 505 area code.

(so who's been adventurous enough to call the number on the tear-off tab?)

Okay, who is going to call the number and inquire? I'd do it, but I am not allowed to have long distance on my home phone, and my cell phone doesn't work where I live...

Please, someone call and Question.

cell phones are amazing in that you can move and keep your old area code.

If I'd lost my cat, regardless of balloon wagon pulling or other ridiculous circumstances, and someone stole the sign I put up, I would not be pleased.
