Aw great story! And if anyone loses a kitty -- signs really work. Especially if you have a picture. Don't advertise a reward, IMHO, it mostly just complicates things, most people will be happy to be able to reunite someone with their pet and the people who need money for it you don't really want to deal with.

Nine days on the girders.... somehow or other, while I believe that yes Juno was very hungry afterwards, I have this suspicion that just maybe, if they cared to search for them, there's probably a few well-cleaned mouse skeletons up there that weren't there before Juno dropped in for her visit....

I will never get tired of seeing stereotypical tough looking dudes holding adorable kittens and making the very stereotypical non-tough "awwwww wook at da widdle kitten!" face.

And on behalf of cats everywhere, I hope he did justice to it!

Icy and snow covered sand isn't nearly as nice to poo in.
