Little whiskers brushed the treads of the spiral staircase, cool nose twitching green eyes darting back and forth. Silent cat paws crept down the stairs. Something smelled really good and the Alley Cat Clubs littlest house guest was determined to find out what. This place was a kittens dream! little tunnels had been left through the brick to allow for the movement of air among the chambers of the warehouse, providing a veritable playground for the small and curious.

That delicious smell brought little Kramer into a bustling place filled with dark haired tall women, some of whom where a little on the plump side. All these big people where stirring pots from which those smells were coming. Little furred tummy rumbled, and the little cat chose the nearest pair of ankles twining around it and mewing in that plaintive adorable way that only a hungry kitten has.

Little Fiella the youngest of the kitchen staff looked down at the cat with a smile, exclaiming softly "Oh! Little Bella! You look half starved! Grandmama! look! We have a little visitor."

Fiella scooped up the kitten cradling him to her chest while her sisters gathered around cooing at the cat, and reaching out to pet it.

"We should feed him" Mellani announced, already dishing the cat out a plate of todays special, linguine with lobster sauce and setting it on the floor with a dish of cool clear water.

Fiella set Kramer down next to the dish, where the little cat immediately started in on the food, while her sisters scrambled around, one getting a crate from the storage room, the others an old towel and a hot water bottle making their new little feline friend a comfortable spot to rest.

The littlest house guest had made himself some new friends.
