Thereās a childrenās book, SIX-DINNER SID, about a cat who convinces a block that he belongs to each of them; itās adorable. Our family still refers to a low-stakes successful con artist as āa real six-dinner Sid.ā
Once I lived off of Barham, above Universal Studios. A neighborhood cat wandered and cajoled. Every time someone new moved in, sheād appear starving and unkempt, and get ārescued.ā Signs would go up: Found cat! Longtime residents kept āFree Millie!ā signs to put up in response.
