>Hrm... I wonder if this feature might be helpful to some friends of mine -- they have a cat (named Fuzzy) that seems to go missing for a few days sometimes. The cat's behavior has always left me confused -- I'm not sure if I'll ever understand Fuzzy logic..

So... do they practice the Fuzzy search? In that case you could just code what they do. Steal the algorithm from the manual process, works every time.
