House Warming
It was moving day for a friend of mine who was moving into a flat by herself for the first time.

As the first of our little group of mates to do so, everyone else got whipped into a moving-frenzy and offered to help carry stuff in and out of the van, down the stairs and into what was to become known as the underground/drinking/party flat of doom.

I thankfully had been at work (being the first and still one of the only of our little group of mates to get a job) during the whole move but valiantly offered to go round and get drunk for the housewarming that evening.

So I arrived, knapsack heavy with cheap beer and vodka, greeted everyone and sat (on the floor) to join in the festivites.

After some 2 or 3 hours, and feeling more than a little inebriated, there was one of those random silences where for a split second, all noise ceases to be with the synchronicity and comic timing of a slightly loud utterance of the word "Cock" at your Granny's funeral.

From somewhere outside the room, there was the tinyest 'Meow!' I've ever heard. It persisted and got stronger & louder but didn't seem to move. My friends all chimed in ' Can you hear a cat?' - I wasn't going mad!

Obviously, we had to investigate and (fuck knows how we came to this conclusion) ended up removing the bath panel. Underneath the bath was a teeny tiny black kitten that had somehow become trapped. There was no other way in and no other way out.

To this day, none of us have worked out how it got there but we did track down the owners as being a couple a few doors away. At 'that' point in the evening where we'd started running low on booze, they handsomely rewarded us for our find with several bottles of vino.

Result.


There are pictures and everything

Cats. Pah. Showing off their quantum tunnelling abilities. Show offs.
