Hey, thanks Alex for your comment! It was great to see this tool work as intended.
Several hours after your post (like, 2am) Pepper showed up on a back porch on Thorpe Street (not a long walk for a cat who can cut through private property at will) and introduced himself to some guys who were very concerned about him, and called the number on the yellow tag without first checking the website on the blue tag. So we got a call at 2:30 from a guy who insisted that we needed to come pick him up right away. So that's what we did. He's been home since then, but he will be out and about again soon.
As a result of this incident I've taken the yellow tag off of him. He's still got the weblink tag, and the Union Square Vet Clinic tag as backup. They're not around to call use at 2:30 in the morning, so hopefully that will work better.
Let me clarify, I don't mind coming to get Pepper in the wee hours if it's necessary. But, a perfectly healthy cat on a nice night not too far from home... cats are nocturnal, after all... he'll be fine! (Dissenters, please comment.) I'd love it if Pepper came home again after going out, and that's the behavior we're trying to engender but so far, if he goes out at all, he comes back only after someone calls to tell us where he is. And he will be an unhappy animal if he is kept in.
Anyhow, as though he could tell what I was doing, Pepper has just climbed into Austin's vibrating infant's chair and started to settle in. Guess he wants everyone to know how much he loves this chair, uses it more than Austin does, I think.
