CAT ALERT
Currently in Washington D.C. doing stuff, away from home. Walking back to the hotel with my friend and this little silver tabby cat run across the street, runs up to us, meows... It's rubbing the lamppost, sniffing my fingers and rubbing its face on them, it even let me stroke its back but it wouldn't be picked up. Ran down the street a few paces, meow meow, waited for me to catch up and then went further, meow meow, all the way down to the corner where it holed up in some bushes.
Back at the hotel, I asked the desk staff - turns out, somebody dumped the poor kitty here about a month ago. People have seen it and been approached, but it's evaded capture. Animal Control left a trapping cage, but it wouldn't go in - I saw it had a clipped ear, so I reckon this kitty is too smart to fall for the same trick twice.
