The Hospital Cat
Sometimes, I wonder how an event is written in my file by staff. What seems a perfectly reasonable course of action to us may strike them as quite odd.
Landing at a new prison, someone mentioned that there was a cat in the Hospital. I always make it my practice to introduce myself to cats, so off I went.
Hammering on the Hospital gate brought the Boss out, with a grumpy "What??" I was very polite; "You have a cat here?" He did. "Let me in, I want to say hello".
Without a word, he unlocked the gate and pointed to his office. A large tabby sat on his desk, settled in his in-tray. I stroked her head and she purred, knitting with her claws before laying flat on the paperwork.
Then I walked straight out, passed the screw holding the gate open. "Thanks, Guv".
