(no subject)

Went round and put posters up yesterday about manky!cat, with the plan of doing more this afternoon, but the first lot seem to have worked... apparently he belongs to some people who live in the new estate that was built across the road from me.

Yes, this cat who has been sitting in my back garden quite happily every evening since Wednesday, pretty much all day yesterday and again this morning, couldn't be bothered to walk the quarter mile or so to its actual home. Despite the whole ferrets experience, something was clearly better about being here than there!

Anyway, I've told them about his trip to the vet and am waiting to see if I get paid back or not (though I regard it as a sacrifice to my clearly being a soft touch if not). BTW, in case anyone was wondering, his name is actually Murdoch. ;)

Meanwhile, back in the land of bookworms...
