Well, that didn’t take long. At 1:11 pm I received the following email:

Your posting has been removed by the craigslist community.

Sorry for the hassle! and thanks for your understanding.

Pussies.

I received just two responses on it, one person asking (in typical Craiglist spelling) “Are you seriuos?,” and the other offering a brief but succinct opinion: “ASSHOLE!”

Alas, nobody offered me a kitten for my recipe. Fortunately, I do have three of them already, so I can still get busy in the kitchen. I’ll let you know how it comes out.

If you’re not familiar with Craigslist and you live in a major US metropolitan area, you should check it out. It’s a glorified bulletin board/classified section, but you can find some pretty cool stuff in there.

But I don’t think my latest posting will last long before the Powers That Be delete it, so I’ll immortalize it here. Filed in the Wanted section under the heading “Kitten Needed”:

I desperately need a kitten for a new recipe I want to try. Breed unimportant, prefer one on the chubby side.

I”ll let you know what responses I get.
