Aw, poor LittleSilvertongue. Glad he's ok.
Dh arrived sans pony last night, but will be hoping for better luck next auction.
I had a journey to hell and back trying to get the kittens to the vet on Fri. I'd kept them in all night without food (cue absolute chaos with cushions on floor, things knocked over, dog terrorised).
Dh only went and left the bloody front door open in the morning , so I had to catch them again. Managed to get cat1 back in and was struggling to get cat2 in without letting cat1 one out again , when dh comes gallumphing back down the path scaring cat2 to death, thereby leaving me looking like I'd gone head to head with Freddy Kreuger Oooowwwwwwww! and dropping cat2 in process.
Finally got both boxed and set off intending to drop dd at school on way. Cat 2 meanwhile has chewed hole in side of box. Push him back in and duck tape cardboard over hole. Mile away from school cat1 makes succesful bid for freedom. Stop car, catch cat (sustaining more scratches), parcel her up with duck tape.
Anyway it took me over an hour to get to the vets. Each cat escaped 3 times in total. Last escape by cat2 coincided with inability to tape up box due to lack of duck tape/cardboard/any solid box to restrain him in. We spent the last 10 mins with me driving one handed whilst trying to keep him from getting under my feet.
Was shaking by time I got there, and cost me £60 for the experience .
