Friends dog has fleas....
I have said yes to have my best friends dog overnight at weekend. Problem is she has just mentioned she has found a flea on her dog (infestation a few months ago) but will bath and treat before stay.

Are cats mad?
Going from snoozing on the windowsill in the sun, to a mad dash up the stairs, dash back down the stairs, then a wrestle with the hall runner rug. Oh and of course finishing up on her side with her front paws still clutching the rug, absolutely motionless staring at me as if to say "What?"
