I was looking forward to my weekly evening visit to the pub tonight so, knowing how my cat likes to follow me (with the possibility of her getting lost or run over), I tried to sneak out without her noticing.
I got 50 yards down the road and looked around. No cat.
I got 100 yards down the road and looked around. No cat.
But when I got a quarter of a mile down the road (and in sight of the railway station) and a familiar moggy ran past me. She was then quite close to a main road (and well out of her usual territory) so I was really worried.
So I spent the next 10 minutes playing chasing games with her, to persuade her to come back home. She's now safe and sound (curled up on my desk) but the trains only run every two hours, so I've missed out on my visit to see my drinking pals :(
Oh well, I suppose she's worth it!
