Cat profiler uses facts to track down lost pets

When Nancy Powell's cat Miss Felix went missing in September, she did everything she thought she was supposed to do.  She hung fliers, put an ad in her local paper and walked around the neighborhood a few times a day calling for her. But there was no sign of the little gray cat.

After six days and some Internet research, Powell, who lives in King of Prussia , Pa. , decided it was time to hire a professional.

So she picked up the phone and called Jenne Mundy, cat profiler.

Mundy, who lives in San Antonio , got right to work. She examined photos of Felix and Powell's backyard and maps of Powell's neighborhood. She spent hours on the phone asking Powell questions: When did Felix disappear? What did she like to eat? What were her sleeping habits? How did she act toward strangers?

After analyzing the situation, Mundy instructed Powell to put out water and a plate of pungent fish every night at the edge of her backyard terrace, where the cat had a clear view of the surrounding area, and bring it in every morning. Twelve days after she had first disappeared, Felix came home.

"Jenne is really something else. She's a scientist. She knows the science of what happens to lost cats," Powell says. "Before I called Jenne, I had exhausted myself with lots of misguided running around."

Mundy is not a cat psychic or a cat whisperer. She does not drive out and find your lost cat for you. Instead, she helps cat owners locate and recover their pets using facts about the animal's personality, history, surroundings and the circumstances of its disappearance.

As important as her cat-finding advice is, Mundy's clients say, sometimes it's the emotional support and encouragement that helps the most.

"She's just got a very gentle personality. She's logical, which is helpful, but she's also comforting. She really cares," says Echele Thomas, whose orange tabby, Honey, escaped through a broken screen window in the basement of her Severna Park, Md., home in 2004. "There's the whole animal side to things, but there's also the people side, because it really is about the people. Ultimately, I believe that the cats can survive. But it's the connection between the pet and the owner, that's the important part."
