Mysteries solved: One (1) cat found.
Prose:
On a grey, cloudless afternoon, we find Iris Parker, Private Eye, in her office, on the phone.
"A black cat with white socks and a white eyepatch, yes, I know. Mrs Henry, we've been over this, I don't-" A frustrated pause. "...Yes, I did forget about Dodo's white tailtip. Mrs Henry, it's been a few years since I last took missing cat cases."
The cat, of course, is just hanging out on the roof of Iris' building.
"Yes," Iris continues, "I'm aware of the ad in the phone book. Are you aware they stopped printing those some time ago now?"

Joining her in the office is her young associate, Cameron Keen, who asks "Is that Mrs Henry?"

Iris nods vigorously.

"Take the case," Cameron says, pointing up, "Dodo's on the roof, I'll get him after breakfast."
