New Corpse and Theory

Here. My slice is entitled "the feline hallway" which I completed about 10 days ago or so. Ironic, sort of.

Stan and I talked about this last night after Persephone returned. The fact that a dog barked and there was light outside (meaning something triggered either our or a neighbor's movement detector light) before I heard noises in back and a meow, suggesets that something else was at play here. Persephone is 7 lbs. soaking wet. I find it hard to imagine that her presence could be picked up by one of those lights. Dog barking? If a dog barked each time a cat or any animal walked into our yard, we'd be in constant woof land.

I think Scenario D was at play here. Someone found her when she got out last night, and decided to keep her. She's a cute, affectionate kitty, what kind of catnapper wouldn't want her? Just the fact that when I called her name outside yesterday and she never came is very suspicious. She is very good at responding to her name. And other times when she's escaped, she has responded to her name, as well as an open back door with food. That has ALWAYS brought her out in the past, usually in the morning or early afternoon.

But then, when they found one of the posters we canvassed around the neighborhood, or one on a lamppost, and saw that she needed medication, they decided their new kid wasn't for them. But instead of calling us, they drop the cat back near where they found her (we didn't put our address on the flyers because we didn't want people A)) just dropping the cat off without contacting us and B)) Associating our phone number with our address. Being cellphone-only has its advantages for anonymity...why spoil it?).

Just a theory anyway.

Forgot to add:

Another reason we suspect she was taken in is because she wasn't hungry when she got home. We thought she'd be famished! She didn't even want food. We suspect her abductors fed her. Also, she didn't seem cold. It was maybe in the 40s when she came home, with highs in the 50s during the day. We thought she'd feel a lot colder. Neither did her fur seem grungey like it had been outside for over 24 hours. It was still a nice coat.

Theory E: Persephone was out having a good time for over 24 hours, without a single thought about her frantic owners. She was surviving on her wit and instint and all her jungle background came to the foreground. Exploring and sniffing and stalking birds and maybe catching a mouse or eating some tasty garbage. Being sensible, she decided to go back to the good life, BEFORE she got too cold, hungry and mangy.

The mystery will probably never be solved!
