ANyone have any idea why a "missing cat" poster would show up at the entrance to my neighborhood?

You just cant trust those damn cats . They always run off get lead poisoning.

I dunno. Perhaps you need to work on your marksmanship, Just no excuse for missing cats.

Probably for the same reasons as the "free tookie" or the "I like Ted Bundy" demonstrations occurred. There is a part or our society.......

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.

If I were you,I'd have these people arrested for littering.

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".

NSS, feel free. first time I heard it was about 45 years ago, and it wasn't 'mine' then.

It comes into the station at 2:10, 6:18 and 10:44. The 'other' expresses arrive at different times, the conductors are English.

Nothing serious, just a courteous neighbor posting targets to check zero at specific ranges.

The train comes in at 2:10, 6:18, and 10:44?

The three conductors are the Kingston Trio.

Aye.

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.

I've not had the time for such deep thoughts of late...too bad its ass wasn't missing.

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!

POTKB!

God Bless you Ned!

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.

Next to the missing cat poster you could put a
"missed a cat" poster with an appropriate apology
for bad aim.

You could add your own sign underneath stating that it was last seen launching itself into orbit off your trampoline.
