My social life has collapsed since then. I can no longer go to the LA Press Club with any feeling of belonging. I&#8217;m just a stray dog again. I need my owner. I want my special doggy bowl and doggy pillow and I want to go for a walk.<\/p>\n<p>Cathy was one of the few people who enjoyed my grotesque sense of humor. We were like soulmates. She got me. I loved her. People thought we lived together. &quot;That&#8217;s a big compliment to you!&quot; she said when I told her that rumor.<\/p>\n<p>As I walked around yesterday, I kept thought I was running into her. There was a woman with that spiky platinum blonde hair. Another chick looked like Cathy in her twenties. But in the end I was just on a long lonely walk to nowhere.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis Fein says: &quot;Sandra Tsingh Loh&#8217;s working on a customized motorola phone so we can make contact with Cathy.
