Day 218

Working in the online industry as I do, I've been exposed to my fair share of oddities themed around cats. Probably more than my fair share actually. My inbox may as well be renamed 'catbox' for all the photoshopped felines that seem to pass in through the digital cat flap.
Give a person a computer - a portal into the 21st Century's kingdom of infinite possibility - and they'll eventually use it to humiliate their cat. I'm not sure that a cat has ever made it onto the Internet without a caption plastered under its chin and it seems the trend has now spilled over to the realm of T-shirts.

They say that charity starts at home.
I'm not sure what that means exactly, or who 'they' even are, but I reckon it's the reason why my brother donated this T-shirt that he once purchased down in Cornwall (he only ever seems to buy new clothes when he is down in Cornwall) to Day 218 of my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge.

Bearing immense signs of wear, the design on this second-hand garment has all but eroded away, leaving behind just the faint hallmarks of a print that can only be properly observed using a spectrometer. It shows the bloke from the male toilet sign visiting his local jetty - a casting off point for shark fishing apparently - launching a cat through the air on the end of his fishing line as shark bait. Beneath the unusual scene, a caption issued by The Fossil Beach Codes & Regulations Manual forbids exactly this activity, but ever defiant toilet sign man proceeds to lob Mittens anyway. This is definitely a shade harsher than the act of pushing a cat into a wheelie bin and we can all expect the recreation of this in a viral video circling our 'catboxes' soon.

Let that be a lesson to ropey looking cats everywhere...
