Well, King Solomon would have the solution: cut the cat in half.

It doesn’t sound like the Gotke family let Joey outside once they took him in. Perhaps they were concerned that he’d return to his home. How could they not have seen the flyers, the vet not checked beyond one site? Sure sounds fishy.

My mom had a cat show up, settle into her house, drop a baby, and then leave.

Funny thing is the cat didn’t look Mexican.

In that case, they probably felt he was being abused and didn’t want to return him.

"And, we said `Here is food and water, now go home kitty cat. ...

LOL. Works every time. Feed them, they always leave.

In Huck Finn, Jim and Huck argue over whether Solomon was the wisest man. Jim cites Solomon's order to chop the baby in two as evidence that he wasn't the wisest, and sees the problem as that Solomon had a million wives, so he must have had about five million children running around, so he would just as soon chop a child in half as a cat.

BS. Everyone knows that's NOT how you get a cat to go home.

No argument there............

What's that old saying: "An indoor cat gathers no moss"...........

I remember a study that either the HSUS or the ASPCA did many years ago that found that roaming outdoor cats had on average three different people that believed they owned the cat. All three people were unaware that anyone else also fed and sheltered the cat -— and the cats refused to tell them.

Why didn't they put out flyers for it?

Brush up on your seventh grade reading comprehension.

Meanwhile, just three doors down in September of 2013, Milone filed a police report, contacted her microchip manufacturer PetKey and posted a hundred or so of these fliers all over town at animal shelters, the police station, even local grocery stores looking for her indoor/outdoor cat Joey.

Clear case of cat kidnapping it sounds like to me.
