There was once a nice lady who owned a little black cat named Pokey. Pokey loved the lady, but was mean to everyone else. Pokey would scratch the furniture and even the people who came to visit! When the lady found out that she was going to have a baby her mother told her that it would be safer to find a new home for Pokey. The lady was sad, but she found a new home for Pokey 5 miles away. A week later she opened her front door to find Pokey. She knew that Pokey would always find her way back home and so she decided to keep the little black cat. The lady tried her best to keep Pokey away from her baby. One day the lady noticed the door to the nursey open and she found Pokey in the crib. The baby was rough and would pull Pokey’s tail, but Pokey was patient and only purred in response. The baby grew into a little girl and the little black cat stayed by her side. Sometimes Pokey would run away and hide in the woods, but she would always come out when the little girl called for her.

Pokey has run away again. Although the little girl’s mother assures her that Pokey will find her way back home, the little girl wants to go in search of her.

A neighbor told the little girl that she recently spotted Pokey at Lake Lynn in North Raleigh. The lady and the little girl started in the Lake Lynn parking lot located off of Lynn Road between Ray Road and Leesville Road. The neighbor said they spotted Pokey going up the stairs and to the right, along the paved path on the grassy hill high above the lake.

They followed the paved path until they spotted some colorful bunnies hiding in some rocks near the ¼ mile marker on the right side of the path. The bunnies told the little girl that Pokey had just passed by and that was why they were hiding.

The girl and her mother continued along the paved path until they came to a gazebo where they met a little boy who told them that a black cat had walked by a few minutes ago. They continued on the path as it dipped low near the water and then back up an incline where they noticed a dirt path to their right. The little girl and her mother stopped where the paved and dirt paths met and they noticed a bright orange boundary marker. Behind the orange marker, they heard a loud meow coming from a cluster of trees near a black fence. At the base of the cluster of trees Pokey was curled up by a large rock.

Please make sure to cover the box back up with leaves and the rock and to tightly seal the baggies. It looks like Pokey caught some little birdies Don’t worry, they were not harmed! The first few finders may adopt a birdie to take home with them!

Hike length: 1 mile
