I don't know whether here or the science thread is more appropriate, but whatever it's a good story.

Luna (cat) seems to have spent the day outside in the rain on a particularly cold, wet and miserable day. Her choice, she's got a fancy electronic cat door to let herself in with....

She's inside warming up now though:

To the thieves

You have stolen a family dog
You have left an 10 year old boy heartbroken and desperately missing his 4 legged best friend

You have left a father watching his sons pain as well as suffering his own.
Why couldn’t you have just taken him to a vets to be checked for a chip?
Why did you just have to bundle him into your boot?
Why is money so important and worth causing this pain?
There is a reward if money is so important.

If you have bought Sam

You may have bought Sam in innocence not knowing he was stolen and he already has a loving home. Please come forward, we can sort this with no repercussions.
These guys have gone through enough heartache lately. Someone, somewhere please have a heart and let Sam come home where he belongs and fix 2 broken hearts. They just want him back home

Meanwhile I'm awaiting the remote controlled mouse I've bought for the cat to play with.

Yep, remote controlled mouse.....

There's a choice of colours - black, white, brown and grey. I've ordered a grey one.

My cat has been obsessed with a lone abandoned slipper rather than all the toys I've bought her. ?
