Sarah: Hi Jenny, I saw your poster. I think I saw your cat in my garden this morning. He was eating some food with my cat. I live on King Street, near the park.

Jenny: Thank you so much! What time did you see him? Was he OK? I can come and look now.

Sarah: It was about 8 am. He looked fine. He ran away when I opened the door. My house is number 45, the one with the blue door. You can come and look.

Jenny: I'm coming now. Thank you for helping me find Milo!
