Our neighbour found it in a deserted car park (it had no ID collar) and we grew a little fond of it over the weekend since the vets were closed til Monday.
I took it in today to check for a microchip.
Unfortunately (for us, not the cat) it did have a microchip in it and is even now back in the home of its loving family. Lucky sods.
Hooray! Good karma for us!
It's just that the place seems really empty now.
So we are spending the evening on Mario Kart and Shadows Over Camelot. At least my board game pieces are safe again!
Sigh... the moral of this tale is: don't get attached to the pet before you check the chip!
And the other moral is - always chip your cats!
So... anyone got words of sympathy or similar stories?
Or any jokes to make me laugh?

P.S. Oh, and Mrs Algo and I will be getting a cat soon anyway (that's why the neighbour thought of us), so its not the end of the world, but these things are painful at the time.
