Maybe we'll just become the blog of lost and found animals. Kellie spotted this sign on the corner of Stone Way and 43rd. For the record, Ben noted in comments that the lost cat he found was meowing for 12 hours at their window. OK, probably lost then. Or maybe it was in love!

From cats lost to cats found, we got 'em all. Ben sent in this photo of a red-collared cat he found on 53rd between Meridian and Wallingford. Truth be told, he doesn't look all that stressed to us. Hate to get all geeky on you, Ben, but to quote the master: "Not all those who wander are lost".
