Further neuro banter

Background: a strikingly-patterned cat has been more-or-less abandoned with us, with the owners seemingly avoiding contact. This was during a discussion of how to re-open lines of communication.

Neuro 2: "Maybe stick a bit of strawberry jam on the back first..."

The next day, discussing a dog harness that Neurologist 2 was lending to Neurologist 3 for his dog.

Head nurse: I don't really want to know what you use it for....
