Excellent Scrap the Kitten news!
For those who were reading more evocative material that day, the other week, I found a kitten! He (as it turned out) was very small and adorable, and went straight to the vet for care (and so I wouldn't add to the cat collection at The House of Brammers). Here he is, over at our nice local vet surgery.
I called the kitten Scrap, and worried terribly about it, but the people at the vet assured me that it had gone to a very good home (after I stalked them by phone and visits for several days).
Tonight, we were over at the vets' picking up worming tablets for our two cats. B, our fave vet nurse, was back. For anyone who remembers the tragic tale of losing Minnie the cat, B was the vet nurse that came to our place and made Min's end as good as it could be. She was the one who coined the phrase 'Bright within herself' for Monster, our rather thick cat, and is one of the few strangers liked by the Cookie Cat. All in all, she is a fabulous vet nurse and friend to animals everywhere. We hadn't seen each other in about 20 months as she had left to have a baby.
After a brief chat about what we'd all been up to, I said 'You know, I found a kitten the other week and brought it here.'
'What did it look like?' she asked.
'Very little, and thin. White and with silver and red-brown tabby patches on its head and back.'
'And fluffy? And with a bit of a bite on his tail?' she asked.
'Yeah!'
She laughed in amazement. 'I took him home! That's so funny! I was wondering who brought him in, because he's such a special little cat and it's so good that he was rescued, how strange that it was you! He lives in my bedroom and he's in the cage at night because otherwise he's just leaping all over me, the naughty little scrap.'
'Scrap?' said Mr Brammers and I together.
'Yeah,' said B, embarrassed. 'That's what I call him. I know he needs a proper name ...'
'That's what we called him, too!' we said.
'Now that's just spooky.'
I shall sleep very well tonight knowing that Scrap has gone to a truly spectacular home. A very happy ending indeed!

What a nice story to start into the weekend. :-) And a very beautiful kitty, too.
