ABANDONED: Peter the kitten ABANDONED: Peter the kitten

This is set to be a record year for abandoned animals.

Charities are launching a desperate appeal for people to adopt as centres struggle to cope with an influx of dumped pets.

Cats Protection, which has its headquarters at Haywards Heath, said it expects to take in more kittens than they can house.

A spokesman said: “The peak season is usually around May.

“We had more than 200 last year and this year we think it will be even worse.”

For further information call Cats Protection’s national helpline on 03000 121212 or go to www.cats.org.uk.

I like Peter the kitten, he looks puzzled,
possibly by the advert below.

Actually, on reflection he has the look of a guilty kitty. Just out of camera, running down the wall are the watery contents of his bowels, which were ejected at 100mph from Peter's little sphincter. Poor Kitty.

I think he could be looking at a toy mouse.It wouldnt surprise me if the cameraman isnt dangling something like a toy mouse with his spare hand to get the kittens attention so he can get a better shot.

Surely the local School of Taxidermy can help out here? I'm sure that the young pupils would appreciate a donation. I recently gave my entire collection of marbles to them for use as replacement eyes. The effect is remarkably life-like, and their parents are elated that they are now blessed with the gift of sight.
