My parents are currently rennovating their house. This means there are visits from trades people as the job progresses.
My parents have two cats; George and Zoe. Zoe likes to get involved heavily in the work and is particularly curious about the comings and goings of people in the house.
This week the plumber came. After he finished, he drove off but about ten minutes later, he returned.......with Zoe.
Yeah. It turns out Zoe had decided to explore the plumbers van. She thought the best place to settle down was the roof of the van, between the pipes and ladder. So when the plumber drove off, she was left clinging on for dear life.
Luckily the plumber stopped....unluckily it was 2km away from my parent's place. While he popped into the bakery, someone pointed out to him that a grey fluffy cat was on the roof of his van.
God bless him he pried her free, put her in the front seat, and returned her home.
So has Zoe learnt her lesson?
While she is very subdued I suspect that she will end up exploring again. Oh Zoe, where do you think the expression "curiosity killed the cat" comes from?!?
