"Missing: White female cat, approx. 10 yrs. old, gold eyes. She has long hair, but it's trimmed. Her name is Ally. She doesn't have a collar/tag because she's an indoor cat, but she's micro-chipped."
Apart from wondering why this person kept a cat locked inside the house despite living in a low-traffic suburban neighbourhood, I'm intrigued by the details provided to would-be finders: "She has long hair, but it's trimmed". Unless the owner is expecting the cat to be lost for months, it doesn't matter that its fur can be long. She could just as well say that it ate Whiskas the day it went missing. IT DOESN'T MATTER!
Moreover, how does the information that the cat has an implanted microchip have any bearing unless it happens to be found by a vet with a portable chip-reader?
Best of all, unless we were to cut off one of its legs and count the rings, how could we confirm that any white female cats with gold eyes that we find are actually 10 years old and therefore likely to be the errant Ally?
Personally, I think this cat saw an opportunity to finally liberate itself from its overpossessive human lunch-provider. And good luck to it. I intend to ignore all oversized tailless white squirrels that wander through my garden (sorry: yard) in future.

What a cruel human being you are! Some people love their animals to bits and want to keep them as close as possible! Perhaps the owner is really lonely and now very sad???
Go and help her instead of blogging her story!!!!
I think you're absolutely right: Ally's owner is a very sad person and in need of help. I just wonder if I'm qualified to provide it.
