Turn the photo upside down and zoom in more and you will see some interesting stuff.
The month and year of the calendar is not showing. All we know is that the 24th is somewhere in the middle of the week and the last day of the month is the 30th and on the day of the week immediately before the 24th. Not much. Fortunately this calendar also includes how many days this date is from the beginning and the end of the year. The 24th is 329/37. Doing a little math this 24th can only reside in the month of November and if you check you will see that last November 24th fell on a Wednesday and the 30th was on a Tuesday.
Wednesday, November 24th 2004 - that's the day before Thanksgiving! No wonder there is a flurry of markings on these dates. Knowing that Thanksgiving is approaching helps to decipher the slightly blurry markings. We see the words "No School for". So instantly we know that this calendar resides in the home of someone who has school kids. That could include college I suppose but most likely it's grade school. That alone would indicate the kitten is in the home of Greg and Denise, Paul and Faith or Dan and Jo.
Speaking of Dan and Jo, notice how many times those names appear. "Jo - Da", "Jo - sch", "Jo eve conferences" and in pencil is a blurry marking where the proximity to Thanksgiving helps to recognize as the words, "Dan 5-6 Pick up turkey."
We cannot conclude from this that the kitten is at Dan and Jo's but it does improve the likelihood. There is no reason these markings couldn't be on somebody elses calendar. But if, for example, these words were on Paul and Faith's calendar I think we would have to conclude that Paul and Faith have a disturbing obsession with the comings and going of Dan and Jo.
We will refrain from speculation on why an almost year old calendar is crumpled up on the floor since that would get us into a discussion of which family member is the messiest.
