3380.0. "Found in Maynard - Sweet black tom" by GEMVAX::CICCOLINI () Fri Mar 02 1990 09:01

    On the Maynard-Stow line, while looking for a shortcut from work to
    home one lunchtime, in the middle of nowhere, I discovered a sweet,
    lovable black male cat with white paws just crying away.  Being the
    animal lover I am, I got out of the car and and talked to the cat who
    approached me cautiously.  Soon, he was cuddling with me like I was the
    last person on earth.  I left, went the  grocery store and returned
    with a box of Friskies.  Watching him wolf them down, I knew he was
    lost or abandoned.  I returned every day at lunch and fed him and the
    Friday night before the snowstorm last week, I took him home.
    
    Is anyone missing this absolute love of a male cat?  He's about
    3-5 years old, black with 4 white paws, and a battle scarred ear.
    My Siamese, Chablis, is none to thrilled with loosing her 16 year
    topcat status even though the new arrival is non-aggressive and appears 
    very grateful for a bowl of food and a warm lap.
    
    I can't turn him away but I'd love to find a loving home for this guy.
    He's not yet neutered but he's not a sprayer.  He's the most laid back
    cat I've ever seen.  I'll worm him, because he needs it now, but he'll
    need shots and neutering soon.  Send me mail if you'd like to meet this
    sweetie.

3380.1	maybe this one???	LESCOM::KALLIS	Pumpkins -- Nature's greatest gift.	`Fri Mar 02 1990 16:47`	11
	I don't know if it's the same cat, but there's a sign posted closeby the Cumberland Farms on Route 27 proclaiming LOST CAT, and when driving by, the description seems not that dissimilar. If you go that way, coming from Acton, the sign's just past Concord Street to the right (_just_ beyond the tip of the triangular island). The cat sounds like a sweetie. Good luck to you both.

	If it is their cat, do the cat a big favor and neuter him before you return him. Thanks for taking him in. Nancy DC

	Have you checked the local papers for lost ads? (Sounds to me like you have a new baby.... There are lots of notes in here about helping the previous feline residents of hte house adjust....)
3380.4	Don't thank me yet...	GEMVAX::CICCOLINI		`Wed Mar 07 1990 09:36`	11
	rte 27 is too far away from where I found this little sweetie. And I think this tale has a sad end. Max likes to spend a lot of his time outside. But the last time he went out, he never came back. It's been about 4-5 days now. I am sure he didn't get lost, since he has returned after 2 days. He knows tons of food and hugs are available at my house. I think he got into trouble. And I fear it may have something to do with the lake which has been partially frozen due to the warm weather. I tried to help the cat and instead, I may have delivered him to a painful death. I guess I can't help that, though. And I'll probably continue to be unable to turn my back on a needy animal. Sigh.

	You still deserve thanks for helping as much as you did. You said he's unneutered. Well, this is mating season and he may very well be off wandering around doing what whole males do at this time of the year. I hope that's all it is. Nancy DC
