hi all, this cat looks like "puppet head"(named after the song by there must be giants that has chorus "pat he puppet head'). last year around this time she started coming around a lot- as the weather got cold i took her to porter square vets to have her scanned to see if she has a chip- she does and it showed that she lives on walden street- i went over there and learned that they have a cat door for going in and out/she is an indoor-outdoor cat and the owners plan on keeping it that way. anyway, if this cat is friendly (unless she has an identical twin) i think this is puppet head.... best, liz vandermark (call with any further questions: 617-902-8300) -----Original Message----- From: Ruth Ryals <rryals(a)comcast.net> To: neighbors <neighbors(a)buenavistasocialclub.org> Sent: Tue, Aug 29, 2017 11:59 am Subject: [Neighbors] Fwd: Who's cat-running free We all worry when a cat is running free, for the cat's sake and the birds'.
