A big hooray to your control, I have requested to take an injured bird to a vets surgery about a mile from where we were located but was refused, maybe a pet would have been a bit different. As it happened we ignored them and returned to where we had seen the bird only to find we were too late :-( I must admit I was giggling at the imagined sight of the firefighters begging you to do all you can for the little moggy. At least it had a happy ending. By the way I see your sense of smell is very refined, your ability to smell "wet smoky cat poo," but not the smell of an alcohol stained member of society.
