This article in the NYT caught my jaundiced eye:
A calico cat named Willow, who disappeared from a home near the Rocky Mountains five years ago, was found on Wednesday on a Manhattan street and will soon be returned to her family, where two of the three children and one of the two dogs may remember her.
How she got to New York, more than 1,800 miles away, and the kind of life she lived in the city are mysteries.
Ms. Squires said she and her husband, Chris, were shocked (my italics and underlining) when they received a call about Willow on Wednesday from Animal Care and Control, which runs New York City’s animal rescue and shelter system.
Shocked? You would have expected them to be delighted, surely? If I were Calico I think I'd stay in New York.
Here is a picture of the cat, looking suitably fed up with the whole business, as indeed I would be.
