Cat Power Versus Horse Power

Michael from Trentham

Spooky, the black and white cat often spooks my Corgi in surveying him from a neighbour's window sill position when we pass by.

Spooky decided some days ago to explore our property and when we arrived home he scooted underneath our driveway-parked SUV like a scared rabbit.

Later his owner came past and enquired after his missing kitty.

Next day and Scooty's entire family were out searching for him.

"Hey," one of them said to me "I can hear a meow coming from your garage." So I looked in the garage. No cat. Another meow and the plea was pinpointed towards the SUV. Opened the doors. Nothing. Maybe its coming from within the bonnet. Opened that. And there squatting on the battery was Spooks.
He had obviously been there since the fright flight and thus had experienced a free ride to Lower Hutt during that time.
Maybe that is why the car had performed more swifter with greater acceleration under the guise of cat power.

Whatever, I doubt Spooky will want to be assisting from under the bonnet ever again.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Share in the comments below if this has ever happened to you.
