cat missing near Dundonald Park



Shreddy.  Above is from a few months ago; she looks a bit older now.  She doesn't have a collar on at the moment but she is chipped.
As you can see, grey with white stripes and white paws.
Missing since Tuesday November 1, 2011 near Dundonald Park in Centretown (Ottawa).  Much missed.

UPDATE 2011-11-02: Found late in the evening, she was stuck on the wrong side of (very busy arterial) Lyon.

cat detector van

In Ottawa, you need a license for your cat. I'm not making this up.
It's not clear to me, assuming you already have your cat chipped, what use it is having the kitty listed somewhere at city hall.

And now for something completely different

Customer:
Look, it's a bleeding pet, isn't it? I've got a license for me pet dog Eric, and I've got a license for me pet cat Eric...

Shopkeeper:
You don't need a license for your cat.

Customer:
I bleeding well do and I got one. He can't be called Eric without it--

Shopkeeper:
There's no such thing as a bloody cat license.

Customer:
Yes there is!

Shopkeeper:
Isn't!

Customer:
Is!

Shopkeeper:
Isn't!

Customer:
I bleeding got one, look! What's that then?

Shopkeeper:
This is a dog license with the word 'dog' crossed out and 'cat' written in in crayon.

Customer:
The man didn't have the right form.

Shopkeeper:
What man?

Customer:
The man from the cat detector van.
