OK, to lighten the tone. The Intubation Cat (a model they use at Glasgow to teach undergrads how to intubate a cat) has had enough and finally bunked off. He's been seen at airports, watching the rugby and chasing some pigeons. His exploits are on Facebook - Intubation Cat.

They teach undergraduates to intubate cats now? Whatever next? Certainly didn't happen in Glasgow in my day!

It won't be long before the Animal Rights nutters break in and steal them, then.

A bit like James - a massive silver tabby real cat who was kept at Langford to act as a blood donor. His judgement of when another cat was likely to need a transfusion was spot-on. He always realised what was needed around 5 minutes before the clinician did - and disappeared. Half final year would end up on a James hunt, but we rarely found him - not even in his favourite haunt - which was the top floor boys kitchen.

Which is why the donor cats are now kept in an enclosure between the scintigraphy barn and the first opinion practice.
