Sheleata Kanatuna Found
Okay, But Absolutely Pissed

BARNES PLACE, ATLANTA, GA--Sheleata Kanatuna was discovered by a neighbor about 3 p.m. today, approximately 24-hours after he escaped through the front door at Barnes Place. While Sheleata is okay, he was not happy as he was carried back to Barnes Place kicking and screaming the entire way.

Despite lots of loving and a warm reception, he's been throwing things in the kitchen, slamming doors, and stomping his feet. One cat expert consulted during the crisis hypothesized the paint fumes and all the workers in the house agitated him to the point he was ready to walk out the door, so to speak.

While he is not happy, he was hungry. Long John is still unaware the cat has been missing, totally amused by the painting action which has taken place at Barnes Place over the past two weeks.

In their first statement since the start of the crisis, Barnes Place Co-Director Timothy State said, "I don't think there is a career in police work for Long John." State was referring to Long John's inability to track the scent of Sheleata or take the direction, "Find the cat."

"We're fully prepared for Sheleata to piss on the laundry," said Co-Director Anthony Dornacher. "Rather than saying, 'I'll show you,' he goes for the laundry."

Both State and Dornacher would like to thank all of those who have offered kind words and loving support from all corners of the world during their time of crisis. And about Sheleata's bad attitude now, well, dysfunction functions, so is it really dysfunctional?
