Life Imitates Art imitates Life

Okay, so I wrote Feral because my brother-in-law found this cat living in the subway station in Brooklyn NY. And Orca liked it and is publishing it. So, yesterday, the reclusive luddite finds this newspaper story:

Runaway kitten found after spending 25 days in New York City subway tunnels

NEW YORK - A skittish kitten that scampered out of its carrier on a New York City subway platform has been found after 25 days in the underground tunnels.

Transit workers tracked down 6-month old Georgia under midtown Manhattan Saturday. Police reunited her with owner Ashley Phillips, a 24-year-old Bronx librarian.

After hearing that the black cat might have been spotted below Lexington Avenue and East 55th Street, track workers Mark Dalessio and Efrain LaPorte went through the area making "meow" sounds.

Georgia responded, and they found her cowering in a drain between two tracks.
Georgia had lost some weight and scratched her nose but was otherwise unhurt. She had disappeared while Phillips was bringing her home from a veterinarian visit last month.
