When I came home tonight I saw a cat near the trees in between our house and the house next door. There was also a box with a cover. Like the kind of box printer paper comes in. Jen came home a couple of minutes later and she noticed the same thing. We walked over to see if we could find the cat because the box was giving us both a really bad feeling. We walked slow, calling for the cat. It never came out of the trees. We lost sight of it pretty quickly. What we did see was that the box cover had holes cut into the top and there was a towel lining the bottom. I think our bad feeling was confirmed.

Someone abandoned the cat. They put it in the box and dropped it on our street. Some mutt. Some scumbag piece of dirt. Some pile of filth abandoned this cat on our street when we are literally walking distance from a huge animal shelter.

Now what do we do? Call the MSPCA? They always say don’t leave food out for strays, but I think it’s warranted in this case. We left a little food and a little water. When we came back in after delivering, the cat was sitting by our front steps. When we approached she slinked away. Poor little kitty.
