But I wanted the cat....

Same. Although, one idiotic, insensitive, jerk and their family stole one of my cats. The cat got out, and the family picked him up and drove away, from which I watched helplessly from my window. They got away. :( All I know is the couple (i assume a couple) have a white car, and two kids, a boy and a girl who are both maybe 5 years old.

I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe if you put up lost cat posters they may end up calling realizing that cat belongs to someone, I lost my cat about five times when I was ten, we always got him back that way though.
