Operation Obtain Kitten hits a speed bump...

"Different" doesn't always mean "dependable," duh. Indeed, in my experience it rarely does.  The percentage of "different" people I meet these days could certainly be described as rather high, and I've been very fortunate in that the ones around me are mostly very dependable indeed.

Unfortunately, sometimes I have to go outside that group. Case in point: The lady with the kittens.

Ah, well. We're looking elsewhere.
