Close call

Mrs. Anchovy called this morning to tell me about the kitten that found its way into the basement of her workplace - a white purr-bunny. "Seven", she said. "What are you talking about?" "Say it with me - seven". Then I realized, oh my god, we have six cats - she's bringing this one home. No no no no no no no no no. I sounded like the Ben Kingsley character in Sexy Beast. "Just for a few days - until we find him a home". I burst into action. Ok, who needs a kitten? Cmon, he's a really nice little guy and he needs a good home. I asked everyone, and found a friend who might just need a new kitten, when.......... Mrs. Anchovy called again to say the owner of the kitten had been found....close call.
