Hi
I opened the screen door yesterday and my cat got out and has been missing since then so I was wondering if you are not to busy you could make a poster for me. It has to be A4 and I will photocopy it and put it around my suburb this afternoon.

This is the only photo of her I have she answers to the name Missy and is black and white and about 8 months old. missing on Harper street and my phone number.
Thanks
Shan.

Dear Shannon,
That is shocking news.
Although I have two clients expecting completed work this afternoon, I will, of course, drop everything and do whatever it takes to facilitate the speedy return of Missy.
Regards, David.

Dear Shannon,
It's a design thing. The cat is lost in the negative space.

Thats just stupid. Can you do it properly please? I am extremely emotional over this and was up all night in tears. you seem to think it is funny. Can you make the photo bigger please and fix the text and do it in colour please. Thanks.

Dear Shannon,
Having worked with designers for a few years now, I would have assumed you understood, despite our vague suggestions otherwise, we do not welcome constructive criticism. I don't come downstairs and tell you how to send text messages, log onto Facebook and look out of the window. I have amended and attached the poster as per your instructions.
Regards, David.

This is worse than the other one. can you make it so it shows the whole photo of Missy and delete the stupid text that says missing missy off it? I just want it to say Lost.

yeah can you do the poster or not? I just want a photo and the word lost and the telephone number and when and where she was lost and her name. Not like a movie poster or anything stupid. I have to leave early today. If it was your cat I would help you. Thanks.

Dear Shannon,
I don't have a cat. I once agreed to look after a friend's cat for a week but after he dropped it off at my apartment and explained the concept of kitty litter. I have attached the amended version of your poster as per your detailed instructions.
Regards, David.

I know, but that one is cute. As Missy has quite possibly met any one of several violent ends, it is possible you might get a better cat out of this. If anybody calls and says "I haven't seen your orange cat but I did find a black and white one with its hind legs run over by a car, do you want it?" you can politely decline and save yourself a costly veterinarian bill.
Regards, David.

"Stray cat in a pet shop" fweeling

Mi had a new fweeling and it iz hard to describe.

When mi jumped on table today, and suddenly got stares.... and not da gud kind. It struck mi that dis must be how "a stray cat in a pet shop" feels like -- sudden realization of not supposed to be there, yet am there alreadi.

Have you had that fweeling before?

Communication woes in Hooman

Although kitty is in need, there seemed to be lack of common sense amongst some hoomans.

Mi dun understand... if a kitty iz on your neighbor's roof, would you not inform your neighbor and try to get kitty down with fud?

Apparently dis hooman writes to Newspaper, calls SPCA, and takes photo, and gets upset when a maid prevents SPCA from getting to kitty.

Mi feel this incompetence in communication is causing kitty to suffer.

People shud hav good relations wif their neighbor. Mi made it gud wif even da doggies next door.

A little relationship wif neighbors does go a long way.
