I’ve been heart-broken since the disappearance of my insouciant cat, Colette, on Friday night. She was last seen in the vicinity of the former Village Building (also called Union School House) in Yellow Springs. I didn’t find her at Greene County Animal Control on Sunday. I hope the neighborhood red-tailed hawk didn’t grab her, although I think she was as much of a threat to the hawk as vice versa.
Colette is 1 to 2 years old, a friendly female cat. She was spayed in March 2010 and may still show surgery scars. She is gray on top with black stripes (a gray tabby) with white below and white paws. Her tail is gray with black horizontal stripes. She’s quick to purr, and her vocalization sounds a lot like a Siamese cat. I think she sounds like Lauren Bacall after too many cigarettes.
I don’t have a photo of Colette, but she resembles the cat above. The hair length and color pattern is similar with the difference that Colette has gray patches on both eyes.
So please help me find her! Email me at:

or leave a message on my Google Voice number at 937-696-9455. Many thanks!
I will keep an eye/ear out for her. Hope she is back where she belongs soon.
Thanks!
