Feline Intuition

FELINE INTUITION led a Stranraer kitten with a broken tail into the Garrick Hospital’s X-Ray department recently.

Canny kitten Sinba, who is just six months old, wandered into the Garrick Hospital when staff found him where the medical robes are kept.

Sinba had also previously strolled into a local shop – just moments after her concerned owner put a ‘missing’ poster up on the door.

Owner Lesley-Anne Thomson (30) said

"He really is making a name for himself around here. Everyone knows who he is."

Sinba, who was born in Wigtown, was brought to Stranraer after his mother was killed in a road accident. His owner could not look after him and Lesley-Anne offered to give the kitten a home. Since then, Sinba has provided no end of drama for the Thomson family.
