My cat survived (barely) a 6 week journey while trapped (we hope accidentally) in a container on a ship from Taiwan to the U.S. with no food or water. Cats are incredibly resilient. I might post a more detailed story in MPSIMS someday…

Just for reference – I still think the ordeal the cat in the bin went through was awful and the woman who did it should be prosecuted.

Yeah, and the photos in the news. If I had to guess her age I’d go nearer 65 than 45.

I guess all that rampant kitty hatred can really wear a body out. (I kid, I kid… 😛 )
