    I had a cat go out the window. She was smart and tried her best to get back into the apartment building. Neighbor took her in. Only injury was the result of a catfight with the nice neighbor’s cat.

    Yes, what Dannyboy said! They will eventually try to come back home. What a beautiful cat. Did she have a tag or chip? Good luck to you. 🙂

    Yes, she is micro chipped. No tag. I am sitting here waiting for her, hoping she comes back. Fingers crossed.

    Please report to Manhattan Animal Care & Control
    In case she’s taken to shelter. They have an App where they post photos of the cats they have taken in.

    Re: “Microchip every body!”

    Ummm, did you mean to place a Microchip on BODIES, like those in the Morgue? No need. The only place they’re going is Hart Island, the NYC Potter’s Field, where the unclaimed, as in the Patsy Cline classic, just fall-to-pieces.

    As for putting a microchip on MY body…NO WAY! It’ll just make it easier for the Black Helicopters to find me…even with my tin-foil hat.

    Is this the time and place for such flippancy? Seems rather insensitive.

    Offerring a Reward also encourages future catnappers.

    That does indeed sound like a most valid concern.

    My cat has escaped to other floors in the building a few times (and couldn’t find her way back), but the last time she went missing she was hiding under a skirted chair and required medical attention (fortunately now resolved). Check every possible dark place, and best of luck!

    My neighbor lost a cat, she thought it went out the back door of the building when the super came in to take out the garbage. I walked up to the top floor for her just to be sure and there he was sitting in front of a door of another apartment on the ‘D’ line. Maybe the cat is still in the building? Good luck!

    Yesterday, August 31, I saw signs posted of a CAT FOUND that looks a lot like your beauty. I was up near Columbia around Amsterdam and 113th Street. Check it out.

    Went back up to 113th again and posted some of my signs so that hopefully the person that found the cat you mentioned sees it.

    I just wanted to add that I’m not associated with the pet amber alert service, I just thought it might be a good idea. A coworker just reminded me that there should be a pet alert and tracking service included with your microchip.

    You’ve definitely done everything you possibly can to locate her. I’ve noticed that there are a lot of cats (in general) going in and out around delis and newspaper stores. Maybe she wandered in to one and no one noticed the extra cat? Not everyone is on the internet, so I hope she’s safe inside and someone will eventually see that you’re looking for her. 🙂

    …i was not involved in the formation of the dannyboy Fan Club. Although it can be considered “authorized”.

    Thanks for the shout out, Mark!
