A small fluffy bundle...

[purplewerepidj]

I walk to work (about 10 minutes) and this morning spotted a small fluffy bundle on top of a wall. I didn't really have time to check it out, but it played on my mind all day.

I checked it out on the way home, and it's a dead cat I work shifts (which is why I'm posting 12 hours after I first saw it) and have tomorrow off. I need advice on what to do:

a) Nothing
b) Go back with a cardboard pet carrier and rubber gloves and contact the local vet in the morning
c) Call the emergency vet and/or some kind of local council department

I don't think I'm heartless enough for option a. I was incredibly grateful to the stranger who took my cat to the vet when he was run over even though he didn't pull through. Option b seems logical but I would have to store it in the dustbin as I don't really want it in the house, but that seems disrespectful. Option c might be the proper way to do things, but I'd like to know that the owner knew what had happened.

I don't have dc's so am free to go with the MN verdict! Thank you

This is so funny- made my day.

I shared it with DH- the man who looked after a bonsai tree for 6 months, not at all concerned that it didn't grow (they are meant to be small, after all).

It was plastic.

[purplewerepidj]

Seashells, I did suggest to the nice vet lady that it would make a good anecdote for the next conference she attends

Oldest, I bloody hope so!

Raahh, I'm soooooooooooo glad it's not just me

[GrimmaTheNome]

Raahh - my DH was looking after his mum's plants when she was ill and diligently watered an artificial leopard lily. (It was quite realistic - from a distance.)

So, purple - who gets the cat? Can it be resurrected with a few AA batteries?

[purplewerepidj]

My Mum has a fake orchid flower that she keeps in the real orchid pot so there is always a bloom. Fools most folk

The cat is being dealt with by the vet

[SeaShellsOnTheSeaShore]

(as a member of the profession I can almost guarantee that Purple!)

[purpleknittingmum]

So you handed in the black bin bag to the vet? I can just imagine them opening the bag all tentatively, waiting to hold their breath for the smell etc. They must have been on the floor in hysterics! :o :o Brilliant!!

[wompoopigeon]

Thank you. I have had such a shit day at work and this has made me guffaw out loud.
You sound like a lovely person. A loon obviously, but a lovely one.

[LizaTarbucksNonSmokingAuntie]

You are a legend, just for coming back and sharing the ending.

I'm still chuckling this morning, but trying to work out how to tell the story without it sounding like it wa sme.

err right, there was this woman on...... err the internet.....

[OctonautsOnRepeat]

So....does that mean someone is wondering why you stole their toy cat?

You are a kind-hearted person Purple.

Bumping into active convos.

Funniest thing I've read in ages!

[Thumbwitch]

And it's going back into Active Convos again after being linked to from this thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/a1333307-Thing-I-Read-on-Mumsnet-That-Still-Make-Me-Laugh-Even-Years-Later#28242581

True classic! Love it. Well done Pidj :) and for the giggle.

[whomovedmychocolate]

Oh bless you OP that did make me larf!

Does look real though.

[purplepidjin]

Thank you, whomoved, I think you're the first person on here what has actually come out and agreed with me!

[BestIsWest]

You loon! I have just snorted wine all over my laptop.

Don't care if it is an old thread.

[TimeForCake]

Oh Pidj, I have just read this from Talk round up. Bless you for caring so much... and giving us all a good giggle!

[Onemorning]

I have just annoyed my husband by howling with laughter. I couldn't even explain why I was laughing so hard. My face is soaked.

Thank you.

[BillyBottomcheek]

I just saw this in active convos and have given myself a headache trying (and failing) not to laugh.
:o. :o

[PelvicF1oorOfSteel]

Lovely thread , purple you are a lovely person and (even if unintentionally) a brilliant comedian!

[LauraCYMFT]

I just read this on the mumsnet round up email and I have to say I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Having said that, those darn toys look so real these days I can see how it may have fooled you!

[BitofSparklingPerry]

Amazing!

[Wallace]

Need to see the photo!

[PurplePidjin]

Better late than never, eh?!

[SeymoreButts]
