When I have posted this in the past, people inevitably have asked "Did she come home?" so I will not wait until the end of the thread to tell you she did (she's still a nomad, but less so, as she hits her middle years). The story can be found here: www.tom-cox.com/the-cat-who-...
The Cat Who Travelled Through Time
My mum and dad’s cat Bridget (pictured above, more recently) has always been a bit of a wanderer.

Johnson doesn’t care about people or the consequences of his actions… he’s never given Jo Cox a moment’s thought. Or Nazanin Zagari-Ratcliffe. Or his Covid victims. His narcissism is grotesque. His legacy is epic damage…. To the country and the many thousands of lives he’s harmed.

Any typos spotted in this post ended up spending 4 hours in Urgent Care with their lovely partner, Tony this afternoon and are yet again amazed at how wonderful the Kiwi health system is. The patient is recuperating nicely and has given the UC waiting room cat many pats.
