Funny, although just like everything else Thorne does, I don't believe it's true for a second. It takes about two minutes to make a "lost cat" poster yourself with Microsoft Word, so it seems kind of silly to hire a complete stranger to do it for you. And even if she did want someone else to make a poster, she wouldn't keep on pleading with him when his first response is a joke about her cat dying.
Wait, what am I even talking about? Thorne doesn't make posters or graphics for a living. His writing is literally his work. I think he's given up trying to make his stories sound even remotely plausible.
