do cats hate the building trade or what! if they aint crapping in your sand, crapping in the gardens you work in, walking in your concrete youve spent ages finishing. and to top it off today i got home after a twenty mile drive, pulled on to my drive and opened the vans back doors an MEOW little t**t sat there staring at me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

topgrafter hessian sack + brick + canal = problem solved haha
thats a joke incase any of the PC brigade are around haha.
when we were kids we pestered our mum into letting us have cats. they lasted 25 years living semi wild in the barn and stables being fed once a day mum wasn't pleased every holiday getting someone to feed them and the vets bills when they had a run in with the fox.

jack russel best farm dog i ever saw,we tied a rope to a tarp covering a rat infested hay stack and i drove off, dave and frank blasted away with the 410s ,but as the rats tried to escape the jack russel (cant remember his name) snapped their skulls one after the other,
the only animal i really dislike is a rat, i benched a manhole once and when i came back to polish it after tea there were rat prints all over the benching,my dozy mate said "how did a bird get down there?"

well cat that was in back of the van promptly legged it when my dog spotted it, and seeing as my house was twenty miles from its home..... its probably a bit lost now! lol when i was 16 i was on a duck shoot as a guest and we was shooting in the grounds of a posh restaruant, i caught tail end of a convo going on about some cat that wanted getting rid of. short time later there was some shouting and arm waving in my direction and some mention of a cat which then legged it round the corner right in front of me.... and in my impetuious youth and need to impress. i promptly shot the owners prize show cat!! f**k apparently they were shouting MIND THE CAT lol:

lol when i was 18 i worked in l'escala for a summer in north east spain
i was getting food, lodging ,and 4 mil a week for 7 days work (thats 20 quid to you young uns) anyway the boss who owned a villa rental company and restaurant hated his french wife's cat, times were hard so with a 1 mil note in my pocket i drove the cat 10 clicks down the coast to estartit,my orders were to eliminate it but i couldnt do it,so i set it free
for 5 days guimette was calling out for that cat, jeff looked concerned to her then winked at me on the sly,
on the 6th day the cat returned 
jeff went ballistic,i said it must have got trapped in a drain or something
the cat did disappear for good a while later,but i guess jeff hired a more ruthless hitman second time out

This is a pet hate (pun intended) of mine, if i see a cat or the paraphernalia that goes along with owning one at a house that i am working at i can not except a brew. Something totally alien to me about cat litter in houses, kitchen work tops etc.....
The strangest thing i found in the back of the van was a very old women trying to escape her nursing home, frantic looking nurses running around in circles trying to find her.
