Last night I got a message saying work was cancelled today and tomorrow. Or rather I only need to work the last four hours of each 12 hour shift.... and today marks our one month back in China which means my wife and I can go get our cat out of jail!

For a couple weeks anytime I felt a bump under the blanket I would assume it was her. Really she has suffered the ultimate betrayal and being an overly sentimental tree-hugger didn't help me feel any less sensitive to this. We dragged her across the world, twice. Through security and customs and she was a good cat. That was after we moved houses a few times in the few years we have had her. She had been so brave and then one day, on our way back we dropped her box off with strangers and never picked her up again.

Crying at the airport they told us that she would be given a four level cage but this being China I don't believe it. They wouldn't show us pictures or allow visits. If I could find evidence of the mistreatment I assume happens whenever low paid people are tasked with something delicate like the care of another being I would do my best to cause an international controversy. At the very least she must have been fed terrible food... But right now I am just happy to get my kitty back.

They told us she wouldn't be given medicine and neither would there be any actual testing... so why did they force us to give her up? My first assumption was it was a way for the government to tax people coming into the country but they quarantine was free of charge.

wtf?
