lost and found
this morning i saw a cat lying in the morning sun at the side of the road with its tongue dangling out. sadly it had become an ex-cat and i was a little sadened (after being happy-ed by the budding flower).
a few steps along the pavement was a tiny square of carpet (about 10cm square)
and a little further a long the street was this VISA card. i phoned up the stolen helpline and they said it had already been reported stolen. they said if i took it in to a bank they may give me a reward but the lady on the phone said she doubted it !
i suspect all three things are related but i don't know how/why.
My little grey cells tell me that the cat sat on the mat but got mugged for his visa card, but the mugger got disturbed and run off, dropping the visa card on the pavement
Hercule Parrot
My detective skills point to the cat buying the carpet (with the Visa card), foolishly thinking it was food and the devouring it leaving only the small 10cm square section. The result? The moggy dying from a combination of internal carpet burns and the biggest hair ball in the world.
