Some people!
A lady who's house sides onto our rear garden lost her husband in very tragic circumstamces last year, basically he went out for a bike ride and never came back.
Anyway the whole village knows that she is now by herself as the circumctances surrounding his demise was splattered all over the local press. She is a lovely lady and we have always told her that if she ever needs anything....
Anyway about half an hour ago I could the terrible screaming of a cat in pain and someone screaming for help. The OH came running downstairs and said something has happened to a cat and went running off to our neighbours. I went after him grabbing a blanket on the way (as all good rescuers do for a cat emergency!) and when I got there she was distraught, she had ran over her cat while backing off the drive.
It transpsires that when John got to her she was frantically banging on her neighbours door for help, saw John and said "Can you help me".
Al (the cat) in the mean time has managed to crawl under her bushes and me trying to coax him out was enough to persuade him to run for it on all 4 legs so the OH reckons.
However all this commotion with a cat screaming and he screaming for help, we are the only ones that came out to help her. All the cars are in the neighbours drives and you can see tellies on as we searched for the mite, but not one idiot came out and asked this poor woman if they could help.
We could not find the cat and I assured her that the best way to catch a cat is to ignore him and that fact that he was on all four legs was a good sign but she needed to be aware of any internal trauma. OH has just said that she has loaded somerhing into the car and whizzed off, so hopefully she has got him and he is off to the vets for a checkup, so hopefully he will survive this scrape.
I just cannot believe that peopl ignored hr frantic screams for help, it could have been a child under that car!
