If anyone were to ask, maybe they could check out the security cameras down at the train station. Seems to me I heard that they are fond of catching the 22 express, and never showing up again. Just a thought.
Good going Muffin. That "catching the 22 express" is a great term of the art. I hope you won't mind if I use it a bit. Oh! And I can easily see "catching the Lawndart express; catching the Yankeetown gator express; catching the HTRN express".

I had a long drive to the ranch and back since I posted this question about the missing cat poster. I realized if you keep looking at something from the same perspective you keep getting the same answer, so I turned it over in my mind--I have decided that the "missing cat" had a loose sparkplug wire.

After further thought and review of postings,I guess I have to go with Bob K. The "missing cat" poster was really a highly symbolic "wailing wall". The answer always comes back to basic marksmanship.

Aha, maybe we don't know the correct answer, but we have much to ponder. And, I know as of 3 nights ago, there is a killer lawn leopard stalking the neighborhood, as evidenced by the caterwauling and such outside in the front bushes. Then, the next morning, I found a dead possum in the front yard. Circumstantial, or ample evidence that the offending crat should be sentenced?

It has been my experience that caterwauling outside the bedroom windows at night is evidence of two cats, particularly when accompanied by hissing, squalling, yowing and such. That's when I put the conibears to work. When I find a dead possum in the front yard I sureptiously gift it to a cat lovin' neighbor, leaving it on the back step by the cat door, and quickly post a few of my ready made, in-stock, posters for telephone poles that suggest I saw a rabid possum(I did once) and that my dear neighbors with cats ought to look out for cat killed possums, and at the minimum, get their cat's rabies shots updated if their kitties have been out of doors. Like the Scots, one can prevail in time!

I dropped the possum into a Hallmark bag (what a Christmas present that would be) and put it in the neighbors' trash can (my trash had already been picked up). I doubt they ever saw it.

May I recommend that after putting the dead possum in the nice Hallmark bag* you pretty the bag up with ribbons and bows, and a big wad of gold-flecked tissue paper on top. Then casually leave it at the mall and get positioned to watch the finder and enjoy a great performance. *substitute a dead cat if you don't have a possum.
