Experienced that for the first time with courtesy car ( Hyundai I30). Thought it had broken down when I stopped at the traffic lights on the way home and the engine cut off.
Discovered the reason sons neighbours cat was so interested in my car and green wheelie bin behind it..... As I was leaving I pulled the green bin further up his drive ready for collection day. Something shot out from under it, and made a dash for his black bin.. Puss was then on guard by the black bin, so I moved it to see what it actually was.. Either a massive brown mouse, or baby rat
Made its way under sons gate into his back garden and I assume hid behind his little shed. Left puss cat watching it from the shed roof .
Now just hoping just a lone one caught earlier in the nearby allotments and fields and just brought back by puss to play with
