The Adventure of Otis
On November 24, 2005, I took my cat, Otis, for his annual vet visit. As I also have a Milo, she was put in the pet carrier and big Otis (28 lbs) was on the floorboard of my 4-Runner. When I opened the door to get him out, he shot out like a rocket. I searched for days, weeks, and then over a month for my Otis. I looked under bridges, walked sewer pipes and went through pastures looking for Otis with no results. Then, the first part of February, my cell phone rang and this man with a middle Eastern accent said "I have your cat" and I said "I beg your pardon". He said "Your cat, your cat named Otis (which he pronounced A-tis). I said "Do you mean Otis? Within 30 minutes, I had picked up my long lost Otis and he is safely back home with me and his litter-mate sister, Milo. This made me a true believer in Pet I.D. Tags! To prevent "nuts" from contacting me, I only had their names and my cell phone number engraved on the tags. This is why I knew the phone call I received was legitimate. The caller did not ask for me by name but only indicated that he had my precious Otis.--I'm a true believer in pet ID tags!
