Sometimes there's a silver lining in the dark cloud.

Folks, it really is Miss Kitty:

Thanks to an above-and-beyond effort by some caring people, Bill Harris and his feline of good fortune, Miss Kitty, were reunited Friday in his hospital room in Hattiesburg, Miss.

"I'm doing better; I've got Miss Kitty," Harris said by phone, moments after Slidell, La., animal control officer Horace Troullier and Donna Wackerbauer, a volunteer with the animal rescue group Noah's Wish, surprised him by bringing the yellow-and-gray cat into his room. "She jumped into my arms and she's stayed with me the whole time.

"I am so happy, I don't know what to tell you."

"We've got our miracle," Troullier told me moments later. "When he first saw her he said, 'That's my cat. That's my cat.'"

MSNBC will have video of the reunion tomorrow. I'll post a link when it's up.

I'm so ridiculously happy about this I could just plotz.
