"Louie" is on the lam, and his owner Brendalee longs for his special feline friendship. The nearly 2 year old brindle "tiger" cat somehow got out of the house Thursday evening and hasn't been seen since.
Brendalee lives on Ellicott Street by St. Joseph's Cemetery in Batavia and runs B's Pet Grooming service. She said this afternoon that Louie never leaves the house. Not only is he not accustomed to the ways of the world, his front claws have been removed.
He's neutered, doesn't have a collar, and weighs about 10 pounds.
Louie could probably be lured into captivity with treats. He's a real sucker for snacks.
If you see this little scamp, let Brendalee know. She'll be waiting by the phone -- (585) 300-7027.
UPDATE Wednesday 9:24 a.m.: Brendalee just sent us a text message saying Louie was found and is home now. She added that he is "grounded for life." Happy Thanksgiving!
