"Moving a fish tank, a grumpy cat and a BIG spider" - (new)

My husband and I had been living in a furnished house in NSW and were moving to Brisbane. We didn't have that many items and a friend was going to bring up the remainder of our stuff in his ute.

"Our Naughty Cat" - by Kylie

When the guys were almost finished putting our stuff into the back of their truck, I went and got the cage for our cat, who was locked up in the bathroom while the guys were moving our furniture. She must have been highly stressed with all the different voices and various different noises in the house, so when I opened up the bathroom door, she shot out so fast and ran through the house and out the door before I could even blink!
