I've tentatively booked Miss Meow in for the vet on Monday. I'm not sure if I can get a lift and am a bit stressed because of the automatic prompt shit with the taxi booking system... I need to speak to a human operator to make double sure they know a cat will be riding as that's caused issues in the past, but the last time I did that it kicked me in circles with the bot 🙄 Normal Uber has consistently refused to take pets.

I've downloaded the taxi app and seen that you can add notes for the driver so if I can't sort a lift I can do that. And the last resort is Pet Uber. (Being as surge pricing can unexpectedly get exorbitant.) If I'm truly fucked we can submit to the ordeal of the bus.

Fuck I wish I had an electric quadbike or something just for things like this.
