Carol Perkins: Little Bit and Bruno

Previous Column: Remembering Phil Donahue

By Carol Perkins

My friend found a kitty in the middle of a highway, stopped, and picked it up. She took it to a neighbor's house to keep until she returned from town. When we met later that day, she told me the story.

"I've been wanting a kitty," I said.

A stray tomcat had shown up at our house, but he wanted very little to do with us. By the look of both sides of his neck, he'd been in a fight recently.

The next day, I picked up the kitty and brought her home. She was the tiniest little thing and so hungry. We watched her eat and marveled how something that small could be so feisty. We call her "Little Bit." Our tomcat is Bruno. We also watched both cats to see how the big one would react to the tiny one. Not well.
