As it turns out, Rollie wasn't hit by a car. Rollie is alive, thin, and has come back to us.
I've seen a black cat hanging around the house for a couple of days, but since it always took off whenever we came near it I assumed it was Mystery Date or another black cat. but when I went out yesterday evening to get gas, there's this black cat hanging around watching me. I try to get it closer, and to my surprise it comes over, sniffs me carefully, then starts acting like it knows me. *She* knows me, 'cause yeah it's a girl. I pet her carefully and notice she's really thin, not more than 5 pounds or so. I go inside and get her half a can of cat food, which she devours. Go and get another little can and she eats that down too. Then I notice her coloring, and it's very Rollie-esque.
I tell Sarah about it last night and she says she figures it's not her, until I tell her how tame she was. That gets her attention. So this morning we go out back and there she is. We feed her, she rubs on us and actually follows us inside. So she's very tame and friendly to us, same head shape, same coloring, right age.... so.. wow. it's probably her. We're very surprised.
