I just found out on Wednesday that my cat ran away from my
grandma's apartment three weeks ago. I am extremely
depressed and at the same time extremely pissed off.
Anyway, we sent my cat to my grandma's for a vacation and it
turns out one day he just got access to the balcony, jumped
on a tree, and ran off. And then my mom and grandmother
tried to play hero and made a few HANDWRITTEN, and I repeat
HANDWRITTEN, "posters" and hung them up at the retirement
home. Anyway, I made a good "Lost Cat" poster and put it
into mass production, I made 30 copies of it. I posted 27
copies on various streets he might have run off to and made
sure that the posters were where people could see them
well. I checked the two animal shelters where he could be
but did not get very positive results. The nearest one,
which is the one he most likely could have been to, reports
that they keep cats for 7 days and then put them up for
adoption. We did not find my cat and looked through many
reports. We did not find any report of a cat fitting his
description in the area where he ran off -- he does not like
cars/noise/people he does not know, so he could not run very
far! The next animal shelter was the Santa Clara Humane
Society, the largest shelter on the west coast. There were
quite a few cats, even cats resembling my cat -- but no
match. I can now only hope that some family took him in,
like I did to another cat and see my posters. I took in a
cat a long time ago. He was fearless. He just ran into our
house when the door was open, and my grandmother, she lived
at our house, fed him and he stayed. One day he didn't come
back and I heard reports of a run over cat...Anyway, my
ranting on here won't help the situation...
I accomplished a lot the day after I found out he was
missing. I (mostly) fixed file xfers. There's only one bug
that I know of, and it's pretty minor. I released GtkHx
0.8.4 and since then I have not coded much...
