This morning on the way to school, the car contained...

[Bast]

Child#1, child#2, child#3, child#4, spanner cockerel ...kitten#1, kitten#2.

Sneaky blighters! Where dog goes, they go. They think.

n.b. 'Spanner Cockerel' is, according to child #2, what our Springer, Cocker cross is, when asked what he was by another dog walker.

TBF, this was a slightly more enlightening response than child #3 ..."a dog"

Would driving with the kittens loose in the car invalidate my insurance?

We were late for school again. Next time they sneak in, I'm not sure I can be arsed with the half hour it took to catch them and turf them out! (Lots of hidey holes in an 8 seater).

I dunno but I do know that two of my cats think they are dogs. They must do... they come on the evening dog-walk with me!

My cat follows DD and I to school. She has also followed me up the road at start of walking dogs. She thinks that is great fun as they are on leads and cannot get her!

afaik having pets loose in the car doesnt invalidate insurance. it may not be safe but dont think it affects the legal side

my hen thinks she is a dog and has come on dog walks with us. one of my dogs thinks he is a cat and climbs trees. i think its really sweet that the kittens want to go with you

I've had them take walks with us but sneaking into the car was a new one to me

I thought it was sweet too ...and hilarious but it was serious mayhem!
