I just had to share this one from Vicki Betts’ nwspaper research…
DAILY CONSTITUTIONALIST [AUGUSTA, GA], May 23, 1861, p. 3, c. 1
Lost Cat.
The valuable cat which we noticed a short time since as having taken up quarters at the Georgia Engine House, has been lost, strayed, or stolen. She had on, when missed, a red leather collar, with a silver plate, on which is engraved the name of the cat, “Georgiana.” Any person finding the animal, and leaving it with Captain T. A. Bones, at his hardware store, will be suitable rewarded.
