Grey

Last night on the way home from work I got an unexpected phone call from an old friend; Fudge may have been spotted.

After an about an hour and seconds after my friends left I spoke to a woman walking her dog and was paused mid-sentence when for the first time in eight days I saw her. I coaxed her close for a long time until I was a foot away from the her but any time I moved to catch her she ran off. The fact that she would not come to me surprised me and though the colouring of the cat appeared the same her mouth was dark, which I thought may have been due to an injury, but still this made me doubt.

This morning Michelle and I went back the street she was seen, having left the night before after several unsuccessful attempts to grab her. We were 99% sure the cat was Fudge but almost as soon as we entered the street we came face to face with her again. Same long hair, same dark mouth, but grey. The yellow street lighting had changed the appearance of the cats colouring so much that even close up I was 99% sure it was Fudge.

As we had had that small doubt in our minds as to the cats identity in the first place Michelle and I had tried not to get our hopes up, but it would be a lie to say that we were not all but convinced that we had found our Fudge.

We are so grateful to our friends for looking and hope that they do not feel they got our hopes up needlessly. As I said before - even Michelle and I were close to 100% sure the cat was Fudge. We are very touched that you care so much.
