The Way Cats Fade

This is Jerry. He left home a year ago. His distraught owner plastered the town with his photograph. At first he was a green eyed tabby with a touch of red in his fur, but after a year of weather Jerry has faded almost to nothing. I do wonder why people don't take their notices down when they are out dated. Yard sale signs are the worst offenders. Jerry's owner must see Jerry's fading picture. Does he or she not take it down out of some forlorn hope that poor Jerry is still around? Perhaps they simply no longer care. I am deeply tempted to remove Jerry's picture from the power pole near my house. On the other hand it will be interesting to see how long it stays there. I could take a marker and give Jerry a Cheshire cat smile and see how long it takes that to fade with Jerry into oblivion.
