When I was living in London, one of my pals found a wee kitten dumped in a petshop door way. As other 'cat ladies' know, friend are very good at finding new projects for you.
I had kitten for a week or so whilst figuring out what to do with it, when a friend of a friend said they knew someone prepared to take him on. I visited this girl, and although she was very young, she struck me as the sort of person to take the responsibility seriously - kitten thought so too and immediately jumped on on her lap and went to sleep.
That was 11 years ago.
I have tonight, quite by chance, heard that this girl has become something big in advertising in America. Kitten (know called Archie) is living the absolute life of luxury. He eats fresh Salmon, Tiger prawns, and rump steak, and all the best stuff money can get. Whenever Meowmy is away on business, Archie has a live-in 'Feline nanny' who caters for his every whim.
Not bad for a tabby tom from Brixton.
