Didn't Poe Write this Story?

New Jersey mayor finds lost cat in home's wall: "NORTH ARLINGTON, N.J. -- Mayor Peter Massa put out a citywide cat call when his Maine Coon disappeared. Massa had an automatic call sent to 8,500 voters on Wednesday asking for help finding Max.

Turns out he didn't have to look that far. Massa's wife, Val, says 14-year-old Max was found inside a wall of their house Thursday morning. He had been missing since Tuesday."

Pretty unremarkable, too, given how most houses are constructed in this country. My family had a Siamese named Naomi for years who had been living, with some other cats, in the walls of the Honolulu Corporation Counsel's office building till my mother and some of her colleagues managed to coax them out.
