2858. Travelogue

I don’t know what we’re going to do with the cat when we go on our two-month-long trip through Asia. I’m not leaving it in a cattery. Imagine the expense for all that time. So we have to settle on an alternative.

We don’t have any children – we could if we wanted of course, but we chose to tour the world instead. It’s been a wonderful experience. Anyway, the cat is like a baby. Our baby. It’s a problem we’ve never had before because we never had a cat prior to this and this cat is only a few months old.

I believe that husband Willie has come up with a solution. On the way to the airport – the combined expense of parking at the airport for several months and leaving the cat at a cattery would be astronomical so were going with the car idea and not the cat – as I say, on the way to the airport we pass though Sunshine Estate. That’s an affluent suburb in town. And we’ll simply let the cat out. It can fend for itself but I’m sure some rich kid will find it and look after it. It’s not a suburb I’m particularly fond of. In fact, when Willie called it an “affluent suburb” I said “Don’t you mean effluent suburb?!!!!”

When we come back we can always get another cat.
