Today a 6 month kitten arrived in Holland as a stowaway on a ship coming
from Scotland. He was brought to a shelter somewhere and if nobody claims
him he may stay in Holland.
So if anyone in a port in Scotland is missing a cat/kitten, tell me. I have
no idea in which shelter he is, only the region, but if an owner should come
forward maybe I can locate him.

Don't be embarressed, Matthew. Languages are hard. I know because I've
lived in Thailand for 5 years and haven't really learned much more than
the numbers, some bargaining phrases, left, right, straight for taxi
directions, foods and a few colours.
German may be my first language, but I am definitely much more
comfortable using English now. Just last weekend, I went out with my
friend and his family that was visiting from Germany. They all said my
German is great, but I have a hint of an English accent! OMG, I just
about died! I don't want to have an English accent when I speak German!
I have some kind of accent when I speak English (nobody thinks it's
German though). Canadians think I'm Irish and Aussies constantly think
I'm American. I just can't fit in anywhere! ;-)

OK. You've got me curious. I don't speak Dutch and haven't a
Dutch phrase book handy. I recognize the Tuatha de Dannan as
Celtic gods, but can't guess what is being said about them.

I don't speak Dutch either, but I think it says "Help the Celtic Gods!
You only have to click here." I could be completely wrong, this is based
on my knowledge of Swedish and German.

I thought maybe the cat was named Tuatha de Dannan? Since it came from
Scotland, maybe someone thought it would be appropriate to name it after
jmcquown...

Aye, I was thinking it was a Gaelic reference.
