I won't post the photo because the guy is in it and I didn't get his permission but I was walking my cat on his harness in the park near my house and a man asked if I'd seen a cat. He said it was his son's. I hadn't, but I was thinking about it and I had zero Friday plans and I've lost my cat before and it's so stressful. We have bobcats and coyotes.

I went back to the park around dusk because I couldn't stop thinking about it and saw a younger guy and asked him if he'd seen a cat. Turns out he was the son and it was his cat! We camped out for an hour and kept hearing meowing but she wasn't coming out of the swampy area so finally I circled around behind her to flush her out and tripped over logs and got bitten alive by mosquitoes and had the tall grass whipping me in the face and I heard him say he got her! I flushed her out through my clumsiness.

Sorry I don't have a photo for you but I've been feeling lousy lately and being able to do a mitzvah like that meant the world to me. I feel proud of myself for the first time in a long time. I did a really good thing and she is safe.
