Hi Mike,

>> Well, we had a hope of finding Leo yesterday when I noticed an ad in
>> Ithaca's Craigslist.. the poster was from the same town I live in (the
>> town of Caroline is very large and rural), and she posted a picture of
>> a yellow tabby, male neutered, just like Leo.. The ad was posted in the
>> Lost/Found section so for a moment I was truly hopeful... the ad said
>> this kitty was found under the poster's house meowing non-stop 

>> She replied saying  her neighbor down the road had claimed their own
>> missing kitty..

> Are You saying the neighbor claimed the cat as hers?

Yep..

I thought about that, really.. the Craisglist poster did post a picture but a
particular mark on Leo's lower lip wasn't visible in the picture.  So I'm not
POSITIVE it was him.

>> Well, if it was Leo, at least he's alive and being taken care of.

I know what you mean there, Mike :(

If he's being taken care of, that's better than him starving/freezing
outdoors. Or being snatched by Coyotes... Well, I still check Craigslist
everyday... who knows.

Take care,
Janis
