Black Cat Loose And (Maybe) Lost
Spied a fit looking back cat mid morning today at the Wallaceville railway station looking lost and frightened. He/she followed some young people and a few minutes later returned and then ran onto the tracks in seeing my Corgi. Trains not in service until the afternoon.
