They're on the endangered list in Ireland. We didn't even know they were indigenous until the cat started offering presents of three a week.

Now you want the voles to get jobs?

Apparently the cat pushed it right off of imgur.

Not my cat. Not my neighbors' either. They have a very similar looking cat, but he looked at it and said it wasn't theirs. My son called city Animal Services after hours last night, and it was gone this morning. I don't know if they took it, or some animal dragged it somewhere last night, or what, but it's not my problem any more.

@HardwareGeek that happened to me last week (or so), except I was the one to break the news to the owner.
Full story:
When I walked my dog late one evening I saw a dead cat on the road almost in front of my house. Clearly got hit by a passing car, left a blood trail over a couple of meters before dying. Poor thing. It was around midnight so there wasn't much I could do apart from pushing the body to the side.
Relatively early the next morning, a passing jogger (a neighbour who I vaguely know) rings the doorbell and tells me there's a dead cat and since it's just in front of our house, is it ours? No it isn't, but it reminded me I had to take care of that.
So I went to the house on the other side of the road, it's not theirs (they have a couple of dogs but no cats, but still, I had to ask in case I just never saw their cat). Next door neighbours on our side either don't have cats, or they do but I know what they look like. One next door neighbour on the other side doesn't have cats. Cats can roam around quite a bit so it could have come from far away. Still, there's one next door neighbour on the other side of the road left. And it turned out to be theirs.
By that time I had gone around the cat a few times, and talked about it with a few people, and it's not mine anyway so I wasn't particularly sad, and even a bit jaded, about it. And I'd been ringing a couple of doors so was starting to get into door-to-door automatic questioning mode.
Which meant I must have sounded pretty insensitive when I broke the news. "Hello, I'm the next door neighbour, there's a dead cat in the middle of the road, is it yours?" I only realised how insensitive this may have seemed when the guy walked out, recognised the cat and picked it up carefully and not quite tearfully but visibly moved. Which he would be, obviously. But I hope he didn't see me as not caring or rude...

That doesn't necessarily mean that Stray has been wishlisted more than The Day Before, or any other game on the list—many of which actually have thousands more followers (opens in new tab) than Stray. The list is sorted by "relevance,"
This reminds me I still haven't added it to my wishlist, actually.

You sure? I see proper levels of which infers a much more senior position.

Must be a consultant, then.

@remi ah, the problem here is you pushed it to the wrong side of the road. Although total inaction was probably the best option.
