**There are some photos that seem ripe for viral popularity. This picture from corporate
fundraising consultant [John Thompson](https://twitter.com/JTCHANGINGBIZ/), and 
[UK Fundraising blogger](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/blogs/johnthompson), struck
me as a prime candidate.**

A cat asleep in a Royal British Legion collecting box. It combines a cat photo, 
charity, and timeliness, with Poppy Day approaching next month.

For that reason, UK Fundraising is shamelessly sharing John’s tweeted image. Let’s
see how far it spreads.
