MITTENS, LBQ Entering the private room in which I was meeting Mittens, I - Aucklander and idiot - wondered: Why a private room? That was before I entered his presence.
He had just finished a lengthy photoshoot and was rehoused in his cat carrier, which seemed strange for a cat that has made his name as one of history s greatest nomads. It was early evening, and by then I d been in Wellington all day and all day I d been hearing stories about him: Mittens miles from home, Mittens crossing the road at zebra crossings; Mittens waiting patiently for the green man before crossing at intersections; people coming across large crowds in central Wellington, thinking there must have been a terrible accident, only to find Mittens happily at their centre.
