Some days ago I had posted some posters in the neighborhood, 14 posters, in key positions where people coming and going from and to every direction would have seen them.
I didn't mention that Luna was dead, I just wrote that I had news about him and those who knew him should have called me. I thought it was too crude to give the news printed on a poster.
I wrapped them in transparent film becuase the forecasts were bad, but the weathermen were wrong, as always!
Anyway, on an afternoon a woman called me and was happy to read that the cat (that she named Nerino, Italian for Blackie), was safe and sound at someone else's home. This woman lives about 200 metres from me, but I don't know her. She asked how long we had been having him because she hadn't seen him for quite some time, she kept asking if he was fine and was eating, she was worried about him.
She said Nerino(Blackie)/Luna was a feral who stopped at her home a year ago and was lovely and friendly. She kept talking about him and asking questions, and I didn't know how to interrupt her and tell her the sad news, but eventually I did and she was desperate...
She sad she lost him about three weeks ago, exactly the time he had been spending over here. She also confirmed his age, about 2 years. He arrived at her home about 1 year of age, maybe a bit younger.
She wanted to tell me Nerino's story. He was even rehomed sometime in his life, but he fled two weeks later, he wanted to be free. We talked for about 15 minutes. And she thanked me for doing such a special thing like letting others know with some posters.
In the same afternoon I made my round to remove the posters. Three of them were missing, someone with an evil and sick mind didn't want to see them on poles and lamp posts and decided to discard them. Luckily enough the one next to this woman's house was still in place, so that she was able to get the news.
RIP Nerino/Luna, you were loved by two families, you will be missed by two families. How many feral cats can claim such a privilege?
