The little bundle of fluff above is a 5 week old kitten my wife found starving in the streets of Shanghai last Friday.
Apparently he was so hungry, he was literally screaming … so Jill picked him up, took him to the vet for a check-up and then brought him home where he is currently fast asleep in our spare bathroom – quarantined from Rosie for a week so we can be sure he’s OK – but otherwise happy, healthy and full of food.
[The vet gave him a clean bill of health, the quarantine is just standard proceedure when bringing strays into a home that already has pets]
Whilst we would like to keep him, it might be a bit difficult, so first of all we’d like to know if anyone in Shanghai is interested in giving him a good home.
He’s a lovely little sod and already litter trained, however as he is smaller than a can of coke and weighs just 400 grammes, we have been told we should wait a few weeks before handing him over so he can get a little bigger and stronger.
So, if you can provide a loving home for a loving little ball of fluff, let me know … we will provide all the things you need as well as the cost to have him microchipped and neutered when he is old enough [which very important & totally humane].
Thanks a lot.

Comment by Rob Mortimer October 17, 2010 @ 9:51 pmLet’s hope someone a bit closer to Shanghai feels the same eh …

Comment by Rob Mortimer October 18, 2010 @ 7:37 pmyoure going to listen to what your man says? where the fuck were you when i was single? tell your planner husband owning this cat is the result of a detailed brand proposition exercise or some other planning shit nonsense and hell soon say yes. planners are slaves to a process.
Comment by andy@cynic October 18, 2010 @ 5:37 amI’m ahead of you Andy, I already have a graph showing the infeasability of cat ownership… you cheeky bastard!
I don’t know whether to be more offended as me or as a planner.
I bet your approach to buying pets is to choose 500 when you only need one. A bit like your strategy with wives 😉

Comment by andy@cynic October 18, 2010 @ 10:16 pmI don’t want to come over all Dadsylike – especially as it’s none of my business and no one seems to have found it a bit dodgy – but can we not be so free to take the piss out of Andy’s marital background because I know what the poor bastard went through and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
Trust me, there’s lots of other things that are available for him to be humiliated by, but very dark times in his life shouldn’t be one of them.
Ta.
Comment by Rob October 19, 2010 @ 8:07 amhe has a kitten for 3 days and look at the fucker, mr daddy.
Comment by andy@cynic October 19, 2010 @ 8:33 amI didn’t see that one coming! Perhaps Andy should adopt it, he’d be quiet and passive within the week!
Comment by Rob Mortimer October 19, 2010 @ 8:02 pmYou’d have thought Jill would have learned her lesson about befriending whiny friendless males.
Comment by John October 18, 2010 @ 2:29 amyeah, but this thing has hair so she didnt think it would lead to the same outcome.
