    And her body is caged.

    Her spirit, of course, is not so easily contained.

    Rage. That’s what this makes me feel. Our heroes need to get in there and rescue her now. And if these people get roughed up a bit by some angry woodland creatures so much the better. LOL

    The couple seemed to be so nice and care about ‘the poor lost cat’ Why a cage in the middle of the room? Has Sophie tried to escape? Is there a dog that lives there and doesn’t like cats?

    I wonder if she tried to escape or if the cage was the default. I wonder if she’s ever petted or if she’s just a decoration; the woman did initially say how beautiful Sophie was. And, while solitary confinement is evil and inhumane, at least this isn’t a collector situation wherein she’s in a cage with hostile cats who haven’t been declawed. Argh. I’m going to go hug Zoë (my cat who was recued from a collector situation).

    Looks like they see even a declawed a cat as a “display pet” like tropical fish or some arachnids. Poor Sophie looks so miserable. I’m consoling myself by remembering how much damage a squirrel or raccoon down the chimney can do in a very brief period of time.

    Gent got it right. This house with such high security is an alien hideout. The “man” and “woman” who abducted Sophie are aliens in disguise. They have caged her while they prepare to perform intrusive, unspeakable, and undignified experiments on her.Sophie is doomed.

    This is awful. Sophie is caged up like she is a curio in a glass cabinet/menagerie. Reminds me of 3 TV episodes I have seen recently either on MeTV or H&I: Star Trek TOS: The Cage and The Menagerie where Captain Pike is held against his will (along with Vina who has no choice but to be there) and also the Twilight Zone episode: “People are alike all over”. which an astronaut, Roddy McDowell crashes on Mars is the sole survivor. He is rescued by intelligent and friendly Martians, particularly an attractive female Martian (played by Susan Oliver who was Vina in the 2 Star Trek episodes I referenced). They welcome him and bring him to a residence to stay at which they said they used their telepathy to fix up to Roddy’s liking. Its a living room and kitchen (I think) from a 1960 circa hone in suburbia. They leave him to rest and he notices that there are no windows and the door is locked. Soon a wall moves, revealing a big window. Many Martians are staring at him. He sees Susan Oliver in the crowd crying, then he see the sign “Earth Creature In Its Natural Habitat”, Susan runs away distraught and Roddy yells to his dead ship mate: “You were right, people are alike all over.”. How sadly true. Georgia needs to have the gang organize a jailbreak pronto, they can outsmart these two people who have absconded with Sophie unlike Captain Pike or Roddy McDowell.

    When Tebow (the Siamese) was 5 months old he fell out of the huge tree in the back yard and broke his leg. He had a cast that had to be changed once a week because he was after all a growing kitty. And he had to be “crated” for 6 weeks. I bought the biggest mesh cage I could find – looked just like Sophie’s cage – and put it in the middle of the living room so he could be part if the family. Except at night the cage went into the bedroom wirh us. Of course he had blankets and toys and food and water. And hourly snugs and potty breaks. I have the sweetest picture of my elderly black cat (that raised Tebow) snuggled against the mesh from the outside with Tebow snuggled against him from the inside. Of course the circumstances were different but maybe someone looking into my house from outside got a different impression?

    Meanwhile, Back on the Nile (Classic Edition)

    Beatrixia: And what about the other three sisters?

    Elvis-Anum: Here the story goes on:

    The superb piano playing was performed by Chef Tommy’s daughter, Beatrix, who played the most intricate pieces by virtue of her polydactyl paws. Her playing captured the attention of the intrepid sea captain, Captain Iggy.

    Iggy: Hello, miss Beatrix. I love how you play piano. You are definitely a talented cat.

    Beatrix: Thank you, Captain. It comes from many years of study and practice.

    Iggy: Are you planning to study music at University?

    Bea: That is my dream. I’ll have to see if it can happen.

    At the buffet table

    Goldie: Hello, sir. I believe I had the pleasure of serving you and your cousin, Mr. Collins a pineapple pizza.

    Burt: Yes. You were most gracious. I know some poof at the very thought of pineapple on top of pizza.

    Goldie: Not all of us. I know it takes all kinds to make a world. Are you from this area, Mr. Burt?

    Burt: Not originally, but I recently purchased the Run Down Estate. I am going to restore it to its original beauty.

    Goldie: What a wonderful idea. I am rather handy, you know.

    Burt: Perhaps your family can visit and see how my renovations go.

    Goldie: That would be wonderful. Do you see that pink cat over there?

    Burt: That’s the infamous Pink Lupin. He’s a snow-white cat, but somehow has acquired pink fur. Some say tomatoes were involved.

    Goldie: And my sister, Ora Zella is going over to talk to him. I’m not so sure about this.

    It looks like a cloth and mesh playpen, and at first I thought it was open at the top. Close inspection shows a paw logo on it, so it’s sold as a pet item. Poor Sophie looks like she has been crying, and all she can do is hide her face with her tail. Gutter actually looks even worse, in complete anguish and nerves.

    When I bring a new kitty into the house, I do separate her from the rest of the clan. The kitty goes into the second bathroom. I put 3 baby gates, one on top of the other, in the door way, so that the new kitty can safely interact with the old kitties. They can safely hiss, snarl and sniff each other. There is a blanky, litter box and food and a big box to hide in. I can go in there throughout the day for hugs and cuddles.

    Oh yes, of course, love the idea of having a pet of their own, but don’t love the idea of the pet walking around the house and getting on their furniture and stuff, so they pen up the pet and more or less defeat the whole point of having the pet in the first place. To say nothing of making it miserable for the pet.

    i used to allow my late cat Nemo out to sun himself on the front lawn. This practice came to an end after some passerby tried to grab him & put him in a sack!

    More fool he! Fortunately, Nemo knew how to defend himself, although his friendliness & general trust of human folk would sometimes get him into trouble.

    The last time we got a pair of kittens, we also had some fairly young and rambunctious Airedales. We had a nursery room for the kittens and periodically brought them out to a huge dog crate to introduce all the animals. That lasted about 2 days; the Airedales fell in love and protective of the kittens, and the other cats seemed to recognize that these kittens came from the same house as they had, so all was well

I can’t wait to see Gutter’s reaction to how bleak and hopeless his lady-love appears. Don’t give in to despair, dearest Sophie!

    The people who picked her up doesn’t know what kind of cat she is. Not meaning breed but is the cat safe? Will it destroy the house while we are sleeping? They probably need to figure her out and do stuff like take her to the vet so they know if she is safe to keep or maybe belongs to somebody else. People put their animals in cages a lot of times. You know, like pet shelters and stuff.

    @Lady Alsace was right a few hours ago. (see above comment). It is purrfectly responsible and to be applauded that Sophie’s captors isolated her from their household to help her adjust. You should always keep a new animal separated until it has had its first vet visit with your vet. Otherwise it could transmit sicknesses unknowingly to the others. Also most animals feel safer in an enclosed space. At least they have not stuck Sophie in a dark place without company. At this point we should not judge them harshly. They should have checked in at the Big Pink House before removing Sophie from the yard, but I can understand them rescuing a lost cat. We should trust Georgia.

    If I had to guess, they have her in a crate so that she can start getting used to the smells and sounds of the new environment. They need to take her into the vet so she can be scanned for a chip.
