According to a story in the Herald Sun, Pascoe last saw her long-haired tawny-colored cat when she dropped him off, along with Jack's "brother," Barry, on Aug. 25 at baggage services for an American Airlines cross-country flight to San Jose, where she was to start a new job:

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
