Our new friend
The Brewery has always attracted cats. Its something we encourage, to keep the mice down. This year, we have had a bumper crop. First we had a litter underneath our kegs on the ramp going down into the cellar. They seemed to grow up fine this summer. About six weeks ago we had a second litter, on the side of the brewery were we store our extra pallets.
Everything seemed fine, but it was getting cold out. Next thing we noticed was that there was only two of the four kitties left. Yesterday, Deb noticed the black one of these two kitties literally sitting on the table next to the salesroom, shivering. The poor cat was sick with a cold. It was so cute, even when it sneezed on all of us!
So we have spent the last two days nursing it back to health. It is living in a box upstairs in the office. I’m not sure if we’ll keep it, but it would be nice to have a cat around the brewery, a real mouse catcher!
Here are some pictures:
whats my name?

Some say we should call it “mille” as in Millstream. Other say, Stout or Porter. I kind of like mille.

Nice looking little fellow (or gal, as the case may be).
When I got my last cat, a friend suggested “Fuggles” as a beer-themed name.

When I got a cat last year, one of my beer-loving friends suggested “Fuggles” as a name.
Whatever his/her name, I’m sure that will be one happy cat, feasting on barley-fed mice!

Sorry it took so long to approve your comment Tim. Nowadays we are getting like 50 spam comments to every legitamate one. I recommend you register for Typekey, then your comments will go through without me having approve it first.
Otherwise there would be nothing here but comments advertising prescription drugs and the like.
Mille is her name for sure. Now will she stay, or run away, that is what we’ll have to see about.
