I really don’t think it’s a big deal but overall I’d rather people be like you than simply not care when it comes to animals. I definitely think your heart’s in the right place and for what it’s worth I appreciate that. ---

I think it looks good. ---

Well now, it still has quite a ways to go to be voted #1 shithole in the Common Market. (And I hear Team Lurgan is going to be particularly tough to beat this year…) As for the culprit, its entirely possible that this is Ernst Stavlo Blofeld’s handiwork. After all, no one would even dream of suspecting him… ---

What a pretty cat. And they named it Pink. Aw. Also not sure why this is newsworthy, but at least they’re certain to find it a good home now. Just as well, I suppose. ---

The perp has owned up! She dyed her cat (named Oi! Kitty) pink to [match her hair](http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3153834/I-dyed-my-puss-pink.html). The dye is nontoxic. No crime was committed, unless you have a thing against pink cats. ---
