Alarmist

"Oh no!" I said when I read the email message.

"What?" Annabelle asked with alarm.

"Somebody found a lost cat near the pool," I told her. "Heidi, have you seen Penelope lately?"

"How do you know that?" Annabelle said.

I read her the message: "Found a female cat this afternoon near the pool. She is about 4 years old and super friendly. If anyone knows of someone missing their cat, please ask them to call me at ***-***-****.

"Penelope is not four years old," Heidi said.

"And she definitely isn't super-friendly," Richard and Annabelle said together.

All true, and sure enough, our stand-offish 14-year-old cat was hiding under the bed.
