Gerry tries to encourage Liam to come back inside the pub, nodding to the kitten and saying, “I thought your friend could use some company.” Liam holds up the kitten in front of his face and makes her say, “Thanks very much, Gerry boy . . . meow . . . but I don’t quite fit in.” After this the kitten mews.

Gerry walks away and Liam puts the kitten on his shoulder. She promptly jumps down.
