Re: Good deeds
A good deed story from yesterday. Our friends have a rental house next door to them. Yesterday some people arrived at the rental house for a 2 month stay, bringing their cat with them. The people are from Bury and apparently the cat gets to go out on a lead when at their home.
A couple of hours after they arrived at the rental house, the wife was busy unpacking and, presumably without thinking, the husband went for a look round outside and didn't shut the door. Yes, you've guessed, when he went back indoors the cat couldn't be found. The rest of the morning and afternoon was spent looking for the cat, with the help of neighbours around the area. (People are very good here). Evidently it is a tabby cat and very placid.
Just before 6 p.m. someone found the cat, picked it up and took it to the owners, who let the person with the cat in. The door was shut, the cat was put down, evidently purring away quite happily. Before there was time for the cat owners to say thank you, the cat they thought they had lost crept out from under a kitchen unit, where it had obviously been all the time.
So, the neighbour who found the "not lost" cat, took it back to where he had picked it up, 10 minutes later it was back at the rental house mewing to be let back in. As fast as they put it out, it simply comes back.
Nobody seems to know whose cat this one is, it's obviously not a ferrel, but for the minute it's made itself at home with the rental people and their own cat. Hopefully someone will claim it because the renters are only here for 2 months.
