cat calling
my aunty had a friend who named their cat 'Chairman Meow' - which is, frankly, brilliant - but at the local vets, the receptionist would call out the pet's surname when it was it's turn to go under the knife. so, rather than call out Rover Bloggs - she'd just say 'Bloggs'.

so whenever they had to take Chairman Meow to the vets - they would have to suffer disgusted looks from the other pet owners as the receptionist would just shout 'Meow'.

not much of a story - but it's stuck with me.

almost as much as the story about my mum's neighbour who lost their new kitten while doing the laundry - only to find meaty kitten chunks steaming away in the washing machine after boiling her whites.

that one's hard to forget. sorry.
