Cats will, they can have a very strong attachment and would stay all
night if necessary.

The emotional attachment can be very strong to owners.
When a neighbour had a stroke, the cat was found to have spent time
scratching her and gently nibbling her fingers. It had left a
perimeter of car hair between her body & arm having slept there
overnight. I do recall it howling in the porch, not warbling catawall
but a identical repeating howl. On finding me the next day it was
frantic for affection and kept going out to sit at the edge of
driveway with a very peculiar staring expression. When I finally went
out to the cat because it did not move even in the rain, it
immediately moved away and sat down again, moving again as I followed
it until it was on her driveway then ran to the back door (no cat
flap).

She was in the hall.

Whilst she was in hospital the cat would not leave her jumper, and
would sit outside looking up and down the road waiting for her.
Morning and night. She never did return. The cat would lay out in the
rain and not move, no-one would take it in - I am allergic but did
feed it, her cleaner did. The cat was re-homed by Cats Protection.

Cats sixth sense greeting owner's coming home is just memory &
acoustics - they are creatures of habit and security is number one,
despite seemingly... rather secure lives from a human perspective.

Quite agree, give it a week or two and revisit. If the signs are
still wrong and/or the door still locked then tell the local Fire
Officer. They've been told and had a chance to correct things.


I agree - if you happened to be going back anyway.

If not, I would dob them because IME if you report something like that to
the local bod, it's fairly rare for anything to actually be done.

I also tend to measure severity of response by how much they "should know
better".

eg small outfit with 1 or 2 staff, fair enough - it might be an oversight.

If, OTOH, I ever see a blocked fire escape at M&S or Tescos...
The general principle of H&S is that everyone has a responsibility. So
if you see a danger such as this and don't report it you could be liable
for prosecution.

I believe that he was sternly warned not to do it again, probably so as
not to set a precedent, so presumably some common sense was used, he
certainly had a few months worrying about it before he was told though.

I imagine that they, quite sensibly, don't want every Tom, Dick and

A few days later I see Mum over the fence and say hello, as I
always do. She confronts me with the question, did I run over
the cat? Well, of course I didn't. I doubt she believed me,
or the bit about the passer-by knocking on my door.

Reminds me once when a teenage lad got knocked off his bike by a taxi
outside our house - we heard the screech and bang and went out to see
what was what. Lad was shaken but undamaged, unlike his bike. As we
had a fairly large estate car, I was able to stick the bike in the back
and ran him to where he was going, a couple of miles away...

...mum comes out of the house, takes in the sight of the squashed bike,
forlorn son, and me, and looks absolutely aghast - lays in to me big
time for nearly killing her son before either me or the kid could even
get a word in edgeways...

No good deed goes unpunished . . . .

Sad really.

First of all, what I do has got **** all to do with you, secondly chasing
up bitches who won't pay you isn't illegal.

Harassment is illegal.


Trading standards read through some of your posts - I had to tell them
what name to look for, since you sent a chicken **** anonymous e mail.
They agreed that you are a sad twisted little ******* (but not in so many
words).

Do you think they would like a list of your posts so they can see what sort
of person they are recommending?
I bet you didn't even send them my posts as you think I am someone else.


He is a bit of an idiot but I think he has been much more careful since.
If someone had actually done as he said I would have reported it to the
police for action.

No you wouldn't. The police would insist on having your name & address &
you don't have the balls to reveal those details.

The TS could have contacted me if they wanted to, they had my contact
details.

So do you want me to send them a list of your posts?

Or the basic safety flaws. My wife used to rent business premises at a
local stately home. One of the reasons for giving up was the appalling
state of the building with an electrical system that had been wired by
an idiot (the owner). All of the sockets were daisy chained to an MCB
(yes, just one) but no circuit was on a ring. The circuit breaker used
to trip regularly (either in the local panel or the RCB located in a
nearby barn) and on one occasion when a 2kW heater was used with a
fixed 13A socket the T&E cable started to smoke. Given that the
building was timber framed with timber cladding, had just one exit
and stairs that were too narrow, it was a death trap.

Windsor Castle?

Heh, no, it's a local pile that nowadays is an international school, but
family inheritances have divided up the grounds with one family member
leasing outbuildings for commercial use. Best customers used to be the
kids from the school buying presents to send to relatives.

I wasn't harassing anyone you slippery little ****. I was chasing up a
bad debt. And it has **** all to do with you.

Do you seriously think they would take you seriously after last time?
They are used to dealing with nutters.

Can anyone find this ****s real name & address for me?

The odd thing was my cat ran out and sat next to Ray's cat after the
accident and did not move until I had got it into a travel cage.

Don't kid yourself, that ******* was hoping for the other one's food.

Actually you might be correct.

Ray left 3 weeks worth of cat food and the cat had only eaten 3 days worth
of it.

And not the tinned **** I feed my cats on. He left Whiskas pouches.
