I've seen you before (not OT)
Okay I've been thinking this for a week or so I guess I'll ask you all
what Bast and the Mothership are playing at..... some may remember it... November 2006, Dave in hospital and we were having a contretemps. I wanted to get something to eat and he didn't so faced with 7 hours staring at the wall I went to the shop to get a Coke or something- needed a break from him being nasty (he later told me he was in pain from the physio - why didn't he tell me at the time?) and staring at the walls- apart from anything else Thames House was hot all the time! Only to see a kitten trying to climb a wall with back legs dragging ....also bleeding from the mouth. Kitten managed to find a safe place i.e. somewhere where no-one could get near from whence kittens fury was verbally vented- several people could not believe the amount of feline swearing they were hearing. I said "Better phone the RSPCA" (I didn't know what to do) and this cool voice said " She's been hit by a car poor thing, the bleeding from her mouth is slowing down maybe she just bit her tongue-They'll assume it's a broken back- put her down in the van she should at least get an X-ray to be sure" Turned out he and his wife and friends of theirs had recently come to London but back in South Africa they'd done feral cat rescue . The way they took charge was impressive- he and his friend got close enough to carefully put a towel under her, which was then rolled up onto what looked like an old fashioned tea tray, he said she flinched as he rolled her back legs over suggesting she had some feeling there. They carefully transferred her to one of the women sitting in the car- the other one was on the phone to their vets explaining if it meant staff had to wait then they'd pay extra then they sped off Never did find out what happened- I saw the guy once a way off but to be honest I was so depressed from starting a new job that wasn't going well and Dave being indefinately remanded in hospital I didn't want to ask But I remember she was a black and white tuexdo with the most startling orange eyes.... And now she's lost the blue- Bonnie is identical to the kitten from 2006! I almost wonder whether she's a daughter or a grand daughter of the cat at the hospital What's that about?
