Had to move bus and decided to turn it around so reversed out and up the road and around the corner to the intersection where i started to reverse back.... And.. What was that?.. My oldest living rescue had got out and jumped out the bus... Almost grabbed her as she hid under the bus in middle of the street but she took off into pine trees backing onto houses. Tried chasing her in the direction of "home" but lost sight. Reversed back up the street and back into the bit of new gravel. The gravel was not the stuff I wanted and the bus sunk up to the axles before getting into position. F**k that guy by the way. Another in**ed local that thinks they can get away being a prick with no recourse... Anyway... Got in car and drove back to find cat. Bottom of feet got cut up climbing old dodgy barbed wire fences and a few scrapes and little stabs later there was a glimpse of MUMSY crouched into a pine tree. She ran as they tend to do and I grabbed her by killing feet scrambling back up fence and jumping on her with back of her neck like a cricket ball catch in the process. Got her back to car and back to bus.
It's always a worry moving the bus and upsetting all the cats routines and scent trails. Have just spotted the last missing cats right as it got dark and the lights turned on.
Spent hours digging around wheels of 20 tonne bus. F**king knackered. And it's still stuck. Whatever.
