Shameless solicitation of votes for kitten...

[Den]

My local newspaper\'s running this competition called \'Pet Idol\'. Everyone sends in a picture of a pet; the public vote for the one they like the most - winner gets a £300 of vouchers redeemable at the local pet-supply store.

If it was purely a photographic skill competition, I wouldn\'t mention it - best man win and all that - but the instructions say: \'Start your campaign and urge all your faily and friends to ... vote for your pet\'. If you weren\'t going to vote for another pet, could you cast an on-line vote for Manni? He\'s one of the feral kittens, from my kitten saga, and has yet to be rehomed, despite being very beautiful. I thought the publicity, if he won, would do the local animal shelter he\'s at some good - and they can always do with the sackful of new cat toys and carriers I\'d get them with the vouchers...

If you missed my kitten saga, here, check out my alter-ego/toy dog\'s blog <puplet.blogspot.com>.

On-line voting forms are available here (one per email address):

Pet name: Manni
Pet number: 0830

Remember to check the box that bars them from sending you junk mail...

Many thanks in advance for all your support!

What does \"buy your mail\" mean?

Cheers for your vote, Tony. \'Buy your mail\' is just the newspaper (the Hull Daily Mail) gathering information about their readership.

Went to the shelter today to visit Manni (confusingly renamed Fran by the officers there). The good news is that she and her brothers are all looking in good health. The bad news is that they continue to be rather clingy with one another and there are no shortage of cute, tinier kittens to choose from with white socks, blue eyes, pink noses etc., all of whom are highly sociable... It\'ll take a special child/family to pick Manni or one of her siblings over the others right now...

If anyone else would like to cast a vote, you have till the 8th.

All best,
Den
