Across the water is a cruise liner carpark

Nowhere to go, no one wants to go on them.

In other news... our doorbell went late last night. A woman with a dead cat. Was it ours? 

"No" we replied but it looks like bandit, next door's cat. We rang next door after carrying out an examination to make sure it was expired, no obvious trauma, and still warm. No breathing, no reaction in the eyes to a torch light.

"We think your cat is dead"

"No it isn't, I've just come from the barn where it is happily licking it's bollocks" said our neighbour.

So this morning the jungle drums started beating and social media does what it does best, and the word got around. A text from the farm at the end of the road suggested it sounded like theirs, Minstrel. Several viewings of the feline lying in state in our shed ensued. All proved negative.

One of our neighbours generously came to collect the corpse and take it to her vet to see if it had been chipped. No result back yet. Whoo Hoo! No need to dig a hole in my garden for it. Its like pass the parcel but involving a dead cat, Schrödinger would have been so disappointed. 

I don't like cats that much but this one looked quite young and friendly. Shame.
