Next: The Forths Join the Search for Osama
You're going to have to bear with me until the Forths find out what happened to Kitty. I'm the loving owner of two darling cats. I'd never label myself a "cat person," but I sure do love the two I live with. Needless to say, the length of time the Forths let slip before noticing Kitty's absence disturbs me somewhat, and, therefore, we will see this through to the end!
The Forths are the worst pet-finders ever! They are all about two feet from each other while searching for Kitty. What they need to do is widen the search perimeter. Someone, probably Sally, needs to go all Marshal Sam Gerard on the family:
"Alright, listen up, people. Our fugitive has been on the run for a 'few days.' Average foot speed over uneven ground barring injuries is 4 miles-per-hour. That gives us a radius of about 160 miles. What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area. Checkpoints go up at fifteen miles. Your fugitive's name is Kitty. Go get her."
But instead, they all just hang out close enough to hold hands, and yell out "Kitty," which brings another random cat. Then, they sit there and contemplate the new cat, which, I guess is not that big a deal. Kitty's been gone for a few days now, it's not like another 15 minutes is really going to matter.
Now Sally's concern is that they should have come up with a more original name. Like this is what the problem is. THEY DIDN'T NOTICE THE CAT WAS MISSING FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THEY PROCEEDED TO STAND IN THEIR BACKYARD AND CALL THE CAT. They are TERRIBLE pet-searchers, and the least of their problems is the cat's name! Sheesh.

Sally's arm in the first panel and Hilary's arm in the second panel are CREEEPY. They are like pinchers!
Failing to ever get around to giving the cat a name, resulting in use of the default "Kitty"?
Not the worst problem I have with their pet ownership, but certainly a very early indicator that they are not responsible pet owners.
