  “Well, you’d better bring her inside and we’ll get her something to eat and something to drink and a lovely warm place to sleep…” Mom was off again. Mark followed her with the vampire kitten perched on his shoulder. He looked back at us and did a quiet “Mwhaa, haaa, haaa, haaa”, and as he did it the kitten made a little “Mewww, meewww, meeww, meew” at the same time.
