Spannercat

A few hours ago I made a temporary addition to my household of one. A little black cat was tucked up outside the door to my building when I got back from capoeira today. To prevent anybody creepy from scooping him up, I've taken him in until his owners call me back. His name is Levi. So far he has been a real charmer; he has engaged in a little minimal clawing of my possessions but was appropriately amused by the old "ball of tinfoil on a string" toy. He has been very cuddly with me, as cats unfailingly are with people who are allergic to them.

My only concern is this: what kind of cat doesn't like tinned salmon? He is a skinny wee thing already and won't touch it. He also doesn't like rice or All-Bran. Anybody who is familiar with the way cats' tiny minds work is invited to call me and tell me what's up with that. Wikipedia is unhelpful except to tell me that I have taken a tiny anorexic into my home:

Unlike most mammals, cats can voluntarily starve themselves indefinitely despite being presented with palatable food, even a food which they had previously readily consumed.

Awesome. This lady is going to get back home after the long weekend to find that I've starved her cat.
