fyi From: psna-bounces(a)lists.portersquare.net [mailto:psna-bounces@lists.portersquare.net] On Behalf Of Richard Henry Sent: Saturday, July 07, 2012 10:33 PM To: psna(a)lists.portersquare.net Subject: [PSNA] Stellabella Toys Mass Ave moving to Elm Street AN FYI..... We signed a lease today to move the Mass Ave store to Elm Street.....early September. (We will take the Knucklebones space). While I would prefer to remain at our current location at 1967 Mass Ave.....since the building is for sale....I am happy to find a spot only three blocks away. I hope we can keep our current customers and maybe even pick up some Davis Square business. We will begin a "store moving" sale shortly. Technically the new location is still in Cambridge.....but also in Somerville. Confusing! -- Rick Henry Stellabella Toys Cambridge, MA

I have a petite but alpha female cat who goes outdoors and the white cat seems afraid of Zing, who is all attitude and no fight. I'm so sorry your cat got hurt.

I am a little late on this one. And while I am at it, the Avon Hill list warns that cats and small dogs should be kept in, as a fox has been sighted in some of their backyards. Are we going wild, or what? Ruth -----Original Message----- From: richdale-ave-community On Behalf Of Julie Rochlin Sent: Monday, June 18, 2012 9:56 AM To: richdale-ave-community(a)googlegroups.com Subject: [Richdale Ave] Cat Attacks Dear Neighbors, I live at 175 Richdale (Cambridge Cohousing) and have a neighborhood problem I'd like to discuss. Our cat, Squeak (she goes in and out but stays on our property) has lived here since she was a kitten, 8 years ago. A week ago she was attacked by a large fluffy white cat. We had to take her to the J.P. animal hospital and we kept her inside while she was healing. Yesterday she was attacked again by the same cat and is limping. We would like to identify the cat's owner and see if anything can be done. The cat doesn't have a collar. We understand this is a risk of letting ones cat go in and out but frankly this is the first time this has ever happened to us. Mostly, cats will growl and make a vocal fuss and establish territory but we've never had a cat attack. If you know who the cat belongs to or if you are the owner of the white cat, could you please send me an email: Julierochlin(a)comcast.net Thanks for any information you can provide. Sincerely, Your neighbor, Julie
