Your puss being filled by different boots

‘You’ve not lost your kitten, just your turn’. So read a great little sign in the old Cat’s go-go (now Kitten Club/Obsessions) down in Pattayaland Soi 2. It’s a perfect reminder to those who come looking for a good time in Fun Town, find a damsel to cuddle up to in their air-conditioned sleeping palace and then get mightily miffed when they wander into the play palace where she plies her trade only to find her offering to maintain body heat at room temperature with another man.

If this were the 18th Century, we could expect to see a daily ritual of duels at dawn with pistols at ten paces between suitors vying for the hand of a dancing damsel. Most people who live here and those who are regular visitors to Fun Town know the ropes and don’t get overly jealous when last night’s class act happens to have been snapped up a little earlier than expected. As the sign said, ‘you’ve not lost your kitten, just your turn’.
