Stray Cat Strut (UPDATE)

Russian, blue no more

Here's an update on THIS POST: I woke to find my note and the cat gone. Later in the evening, I ran into my new upstairs neighbor on the street -- who Michael strongly suspected as being the cat's owner -- and I asked him if he'd lost his cat. Sure enough, Richie -- a 20-something Gaysian whose feet rarely touch the ground -- confirmed that he was indeed the lost cat's owner. It seems Sergei(!) got out when Richie and a "guest from out of town" came in from an evening of "a lot of drinking," and it wasn't until 8 a.m. that either of them noticed. Happy things ended well. Richie and I are planning a play date for Sergie and Larry in the near future, but if he goes on another bender, I might keep Sergei for myself!
