OW! MY EYE!

I believe this one came from Portland, judging by the streets listed (and I am a Judge, after all).  Not too remarkable, except for the the burned out eyes.  If you can't see it, just take my word for it.  Someone crushed their cigarette out right in that poor cat's eye.  Here's the text, although it's probably not necessary, given that every word is huge.

"MISSING CAT, REWARD, SE SALMON & SE 15TH, *HE MIGHT BE STOLEN!?!* (sorry, I don't know how to type that little sun symbol), PLEASE BRING HIM HOME!  ORANGE LONG HAIR W/ WHITE PAWS & WHITE NECK)"


So, first of all, I don't understand the end parentheses, all alone out there without its partner.  Must be an asexual parentheses.  I know some of you out there are frightened, or morally opposed to asexual parentheses, but this sort of behavior is well accepted in Portland, a bastion of alternative sexuality for punctuation marks.

But back to the topic at hand.  I know that people will steal anything, but what makes a person think their cat was stolen right off the bat?  (Ooh, did you see that?  Another animal reference.  Almost slipped by you didn't it?  Bat.)  Couldn't he have just taken off, after the most delicious mouse ever?  Or maybe he got wasted on catnip and woke up in cat detox.  Who knows?  Maybe the person who burned out his eyes took him.  The most common mistake for a cat-napper (no, not that kind) is to return to the scene of the crime.

Those little suns look nice.  Just got the news today that here in Western Oregon, it's warmer than it is in Miami, Florida.  But it's pouring outside.  So that's why I'm fixated on those little suns.  God, I can just imagine how nice it must be to bask in their inky glow.  Anyway...

Just saying; maybe you should have spent more time looking for him than drawing little mysterious symbols on your flier.
