Then, making sure there was sufficient ventilation in the car, he departed for work. But the cat was on his mind. In a couple of hours was in the subway again to get, milk for the cat. Then he knocked off work early to get the cat back to Newton, where it was released, with no show of appreciation to Ed for the excursion with free meals.
