Duncan and Colleen’s elder cat Otis embarked on an extended walkabout recently, disappearing while they were out of town – no doubt sending the cat/house sitter into a panic. Flyers, calls to local shelters, and neighborhood canvasing resulted in no clues for days as to Otis’s circumstances. But finally, hearing a faint cry on the next block, Duncan found Otis in a neighbor’s back yard some days later, in need of his daily medications but for the most part healthy – and hungry. Everyone is happy that Otis turned up. He’s part of the family and has been for over a decade. Welcome back, O! — JT the webguy
