A Massive Bequest for a Cat

An anecdote from my student days (actually an anecdote I read on Fesshole).

When I was at student, I dated a lady  Whose flatmate posessed a pet cat. The flatmate was awful, and used to get stroppy  Whenever I stayed in the flat. One Saturday night, we were out on a date,  And then after some drinks we withdrew, Returned to her flatshare where during the night  I urgently needed a poo! The toilet was locked as the flatmate was in it —  My turd was beginning to crest. But there in the hall was the cat's litter tray,  So I left him a massive bequest. Got up in the morning, she'd written a note  That we found in the small kitchenette: ＂The cat left a stool — I think he's unwell.  I've taken him off to the vet.＂

I guess there is an element of truth to this — as a student I went out with a girl whose flatmate had a pet rabbit, but the flatmate and the rabbit were both lovely, and I never "left a bequest" for him.
