If the cartoon Funnybones- based on Janet and Alan Ahlberg's books- taught me any lessons for life, this little skeleton family did not make me aware that it was dangerous to come home at night because you might be given a cat (carried inside a woolen hat, even) by two 16 year old girls.
They apparently hadn't done their market research very well, and 1am on a Sunday morning wasn't prime animal adoption time in the back streets of Brussels. Once I was presented with Luna as her only potential foster parent, I begrudgingly took her home and she had a jolly old evening frolicking in our bathroom. A slightly less jolly time was had in an old orange carton on the way to the shelter the next day. She is now hopefully prowling her way round Belgium.
Say hi from me if you see her.
