No - I was going to post about that. OH has been "working from home" quite a lot recently - I looked last night and no sign. That was around 10pm. He is working at the office Monday and Tuesday so I will keep an eye again.

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

I thought I had posted about this cat when it was missing but can't find the post. A couple of months ago, I was in the pay & display car park round the back - the road is a rat run at the best of times with 2 NCP car parks and the bingo one. I saw someone pinning a lost cat notice up and started speaking to her. It turned out she works at the vet next door. Her Persian had gone missing a week before. I said I always saw it hanging around the car park and hinted that it wasn't a good idea for it to be out; especially there as it was so dangerous. Anyway, I heard no more until the other day OH & I had been out and were driving along the side street and just going to pull into the car park when I saw something in the road. I stopped the car and then realised it was her cat in the middle of the road. It was stalking a woodpigeon in the carpark. I'm sure had we been going faster, it would have been flattened - it was totally engrossed in the pigeon  :Crazy: - Grey cat + grey road + twilight = not good  >:( - you would think someone that works in a vet would have a bit of common-sense+ Maybe not.
