The Cat Story

A thin, lean black cat has been living on the property, who knows where.

The cat did leap out of the trailer that holds Art Treleaven’s fishing boat when it was startled from that position.

Mostly questions were asked of others, “Whose cat is that? Does it belong to any of the houses to the west of us? Has your family been feeding that cat?”

... Sydney and Nora Wood taking flowers to their secret tree house ...
... they also feed stray cats ....
The cat was been treated small bowls of milk by the Adam and Michelle Wood grandchildren at the Wood home, much to Dave Wood’s horror. He doesn’t want to make lingering friends with an animal that is not his.

The cat became lethargic and slow and was caught by the Wood children.

They discovered a collar around it’s neck and they cut it off for the cat had grown. The collar had not been loosened and now there was an open sore in that area as well as skin where a halter had been on the cat.

Miranda took a look at the cat, put it in her van and delivered it to the SPCA.

“Too sick,” she said.

I thought that was the end of the story but a few days later, Miranda got a telephone call saying that the vet had treated the cat, and that the SPCA found the cat had been reported as lost, 6 months ago.

The cat’s family came to pick it up, joyous that their cat had been found and they wanted to thank her for delivering it to the SPCA.

Others have commented that pay it forward is working in this case.

Remember when Miranda and Richard’s car was hit by an 18 wheeler.

They lost their dog, Vegas, and days later a land owner at Three Valley Gap caught Vegas and returned the dog to them.  At the very least, Miranda is now even.

A big yes to “pay it forward”.
