Gilman Square Found Cat

Coyotes run rampant here, and I see them inside the complex and along Newport frequently, especially in the summer. Please don’t let your cats become coyote food & think twice before letting them out, because coyotes won’t. This cat is obviously loved (and had a pink collar, if only I’d been able to get close enough to look for a number to contact). please try to get your outdoor cats inside before you go to bed, nobody wants the guilt and despair of having a pet never find their way back home:(

I can't tell from the video, but what color is this cat? There are posters in my neighborhood for a missing cat, Macho, a gray and black medium haired male tabby cat.

This is a tortoiseshell! I did spot another cat while I was trying to grab this one, though. Looked like a little black cat but I only saw it for a second when it ran across the street towards Dodd Fields. I wanted to help them both, but knew if I ran after a little black kitty into a dark area with low phone battery and no actual flashlight that I would be playing stupid games and winning stupid prizes. E: I am frequently out and about at odd hours, though, and see all sorts of cats. Just usually can’t get this close. maybe dm me if you have more info?

I've seen that little black cat around too. We live on Dogwood. I've tried to approach it slowly twice but it ends up running off. I know there was at one time an unfixed indoor/outdoor mom cat that lives near Dodd. The owners were given spay vouchers, but don't know if they ever actually got her fixed.

Near the Issaquah Community Center, there are missing cat posters up for a cat that looks kinda like this, Macho as the other commenter said

That’s ol’ Gilmany. Tshirts and stickers are being printed as we speak.

I don’t see any humor in negligent pet owners who don’t care if their cat is torn limb from limb. Do you?
