PA~~E 4 FEBRUARY 25-26.2009 CLASSIFIED MARKETPLACE WWW.NFLAONLINE.COM SERVING NORTH FLORIDA AND SOUTH GEORGIA Dear Classified Guys, My husband and I are both dog lovers, but our son took to liking cats. Despite our best efforts to con- vert him, he always wanted a feline friend. Last year for his birthday, we broke down and gave him a cat named Sparky as a gift. Immediately, they were buddies. Although Sparky lived inside, my son would take him outside for a walk on a leash. One day while out, my son tripped on the curb and fell, accidentally letting go. of the leash. By the time he picked himself up, Sparky had run off. I thought a neighbor or someone would have spotted the cat running with a leash in tow, but no one saw him. I've taken out several classified ads and posted signs around town, but no luck. This is totally devastating to our son and I'm a wreck seeing him so sad. Is there any- thing else you can suggest to locate Sparky or help my son cope. He's feeling very guilty about dropping the leash. Carry: It's tragic anytime a pet is lost from its owners. You're on the right track by posting signs in the area, talk- ing with neighbors and taking out a Duane "Cash" Holze & Todd "Carry" Holze classified ad. The more people that know Sparky is lost, the better your chances are for finding him. Cash: There are a few other things you should do as well. First, continue reading the classified ads. It's common for people to take out their own ad when they find a lost animal and not realize you placed one. Carry: Also, check with the animal shelters in the area and leave them one of your flyers. Sometimes lost animals are found and brought to them. And be sure to check back frequently as they, can get busy and may not recognize your cat. Cash: Since Sparky was lost wear- 02/22/09 S 2009 The Classified Guys* . ing a leash, continue searching around the area. Trailing a leash makes it like- ly for him to get caught on something nearby. It may be that Sparky is not far from home and just needs to be found. 'Carry: As for your son, dealing with the grief of losing the cat will be diffi- cult, and unfortunately, there is no quick fix. It's important you get him to talk about what happened. He needs to express his grief. Eventually, he may come to understand that accidents can happen.- Cash: And remember to never give up hope. Sometimes cats have a unique way of showing up when you least expect them., -40 Weather Conditions Most cat lovers agree that having a feline friend can enhance your house- hold. However, there's much debate on whether cats should live inside or out- side. According to leading animal asso- ciations, the average lifespan of an indoor cat is about 14 to 18 years. Keeping them indoors protects the ani- mal from many diseases and dangers from other predatory animals. Although an outdoor cat can help with controlling mice, rats or other rodents, their life span averages only 3 to 5 years. Dare to Compare Cats and people have a lot in com- mon. We each have a distinct look and personality. And let's face it, who does- n't enjoy a good nap in the sun? But those traits are just the beginning. We each have a unique fingerprint as well. However, a cat's "fingerprint" is on their nose! That's right. Each of the more than 75 million cats around today have ridges oh their nose that make them completely unique from every other cat. The only question is: how do you get their nloseprint? * * Got a question, funny story, or just want to give us your opinion? Let us hear it.

FEBRUARY 25 26,2009 Packed Tight My friends often make fun of me for how much I keep in my purse, but I'm absolutely lost without it. That's why I was devastated when I left it on the train tHe other day. Fortunately, a young man called to tell me he found it. * When I went to his house, he handed me a plastic garbage bag. I could see it had my empty purse and all of it's contents loosely tossed about inside it. Realizing I was rather upset, he * quickly tried to explain, "I had to empty your purse to find your phone numberr" Sounding desperate, he * continued, "And no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get all of your stuff i! to fit back in!" .
