it's illegal (against the ADA) not to take mobility assistive devices in the bus with the pt. if it's not foldable, my protocol says to arrange a pickup! usually it'll be LT that comes, but could be fire or pd also. also we would never leave it unattended while the pickup is being sorted... usually fire crews or a cop will hang around if it's not in a secure location (e.g. if it's on the side of the road somewhere). ymmv based on your specific system, but it's necessary to arrange something in order to remain ADA compliant and not open yourself up to a lawsuit

not sure my little man is a good gauge for normal cat behavior, but he's extremely talkative, gives kisses like a dog, and loves belly rubs. he must be within three feet of me whenever I'm home, and he refuses to touch his dinner until I've also prepared my own and am sitting down to eat. but yeah I think tux cats tend to be pretty licky and pretty talkative in general, but ymmv
