Miss Meow has now been successfully taken to the vet. I managed to get her into the carrier with only one scratch. She was so terrified about the whole thing the vet has prescribed sedatives for next time. She has also been declared overweight and in need of a diet, so of course the first thing she did when we got home was make a beeline for her dry food bowl and stuff her face with comfort kibble.

On the way home I beeped at a pedestrian for the first time ever. Seriously Miss Pedestrian, you have right of way to cross the road, not to stop half way contemplating life or admiring the view or whatever it was she was up to. Then, to add to the excitement of the trip, when I got home there was a police crime scene unit parked next door. I am guessing someone robbed the new townhouses over the road, empty houses filled with brand new appliances tend to be a bit of a target.
