"That," I said as we drove through the desolate wastes of Easton, "is the weirdest charity shop I have ever seen."And frankly, on the Island of Portland (Motto: "Keeping it weird, marrying your cousin"), you've got to be truly weird to stand out from the aunt-licking crowd.
"What's so weird about that... oh," says The Boy as eyes clap onto a lock-up seeming constructed out of railway sleepers, corrugated iron and parts from a local quarry.
The sign above the door betrays all: "Feral Cat Shop".
"As a matter of fact," I say, steering the car back toward the safety of the mainland, "I'm not entirely sure if it IS a charity shop."
"Why?" he asks, "What do they sell there?"
"Feral cats, obviously. Feral cats, large nets and first aid kits."
We drive on in silence.
"And books of feral cat recipes."

The Portland equivalent of Cash Convertors; Cat Convertors?
Surely for feral cats the most appropiate treatment is the underside of a car?
No you use the heat from the carburator or whatever to cook the cat. Fact.
Erin: My mom did that once. Accidentally. And the cat wasn't feral, it was our pet.
The Creation Story as told by PR Foxbrush Rusty Halo
On the first day of creation, God created the cat.
On the second day, God created man to serve the cat.
On the third, God created all the animals of the earth to serve as potential food for the cat.
On the fourth day, God created honest toil so that man could labour for the good of the cat.
On the fifth day, God created the sparkle ball so that the cat might or might not play with it.
On the sixth day, God created veterinary science to keep the cat healthy and the man broke.
On the seventh day, God tried to rest, but he had to scoop the litter box.
Got stoned on cat nip tonight. At the height of it all, I had a vision, a hallucenogenic revelation: they are the prisoners and I am the captor! Why haven't I seen this all before?
Cat bashing two days in a row.
Of course you know... this means war.
WoD
Furballs through the letter box. It's the only language these people understand.
Or empty the litterbox through the letterbox.
Debster - just raid the litter box for letter box material.
And #Debi - that's terrible *and* horrible. =(
