Went into town tonight for a date. Spotted the resident cat heading towards the station as I got out of the car. Half-way through buying my ticket I hear 'MEEEEP' ...pause... 'MEEEEEEEEEP!". Crouch down and tickle indignant cat, then finish buying ticket. Cat heads off to its post by station entrance.
Later that night, after a fu flipping disastrous evening, I'm walking back to the car, when I spot an odd dark blob underneath it. Crouch down to look, and on a hunch say 'Hello?'. Cat walks out, erects tail and, after a head-bunt of my proffered fist, does a few circuits of me. At this point cat notices that I have an interesting smelling carrier bag (transport, kebab, for the use of). Hints are dropped. I tear off a few bits of lamb doner untouched by anything feline-unfriendly (onions, garlic, etc.) and the gift is accepted. Cat retreats. I drive off, feeling happier.
