Hi! There is a young cat around our house, just was outside, (Tues., 5/18 around 12:15pm). I have seen it a few other times running under cars parked on the street. coloring is: white belly, legs, neck and jaw line and gray/charcoal back, tail and head. no collar. pretty friendly, came to me and 'meowed' a bit; then saw another cat and took off. we are on N. Highland between Hampton St., and Bryant Court. VERY BUSY and DANGEROUS STREET for animal crossings and this cat crosses it! if this is your cat just let me know before I take it in and find a home for it. I will try to get a picture next time to post it. Thanks HP neighbors! - Sue :)
