A kitten comes to Yanasa
Couple of weeks ago the building manager told me that somebody had abandon four kittens in our office building.

Our mailbox and elevator's entrance is close to the building manager's office, so I could hear the kitten crying every time the office was closed.
It was obvious the kitten was not having fun. The manager tried for couple of weeks to find an owner, but could only find a home for three of them.
The manager's supervisor was pushing him to get rid of the kitten as an office is not a place to raise one. On a rainy Friday, I thought
- If I do not pick up the kitten today, it may be gone (killed) by Monday -

My family does not like animals too much, but I myself, love them all.
So without thinking too much, I went to the building manager's office and picked up the kitten.
As I was still working, I let her roam around the office for couple of hours. Then I found an old shoe box, put her inside, and went back home in a taxi.
My kids were very surprised when they saw the kitten, but started playing with her immediately.
As they could not agree on a name, we mixed all names, so her name was "Purara".

My eldest daughter was very fond of her, and so the kitten was too: the kitten would easily sleep in her arms.
Next day my wife found a new home for the kitten. As one adult in the house is allergic to cats, it was impossible to keep it at home.
The new family is very happy and treats the kitten very nicely.
My kids now are asking for a new kitten, puppy or bunny. My wife tells me to go to the pet shop to choose one. I said
- We will get one when he or she needs us -
