At the seashore the giant lobster makes
appointments with mermaids and landlubbers.
He waves his large claws, attracting those desiring
to be in the company of starfish and lumpfish.

Dear Grapevine:
I would like to thank for all the support and help I received
during the time Nuk was lost. I am amazed over the way
people come together in Iceland and take part. I have met
so many supportive, nice and helpful people who spent time
looking for Nuk and walked around with f lashlights and
called her name. Cars that drove slowly around looking for
her. It was amazing, thank you so very much.
Nuk was lost for approximately 36 hours, she is a cat who
is normally inside but also sometimes outside where she
always stays within 100-200 meters of our home. She is eas-
ily scared and does not associate with other animals at all,
cats included. Nuk was neutered when she was 6 months
old. Knowing Nuk very well, I am of the opinion that she
escaped and ran straight to the building Flugskoli some
150 metres away from the plane where she went Into hiding
underneath the building and stayed there. This is where I
found her Wednesday evening around 7 pm. I had walked
around calling her name and suddenly I heard a Miaaw and
a little black head appeared. I sat down and spoke very softly
to her. She came over and I grabbed her and carried her to
the plane. I spent the night in the plane with Nuk and she
ate, drank water and was very happy. Needless to say, so was
I.
I put out a finders fee when Nuk got lost and as I found her
Myself I have decided to donate the money to two organiza-
tions which are both doing an amazing job. The organiza-
tion Dyrahjalp where I received a lot of help and support
from, I would like to give ISK 70.000 and to the organization
Kattholt which I heard very good things about during the
search for Nuk and which is doing a great job getting lost
cats rehome or brought back to their owners, I would like to
give ISK 30.000.
Nuk is doing fine, it is a miracle she is back and we love her
so much. Thank you, Iceland, thank you so much for all the
help and support I received.

Dear Susanne:
Being an office full of animal-loving world travelers—and
having a particular soft spot for cats who are clever (and
ninja) enough to open an airplane door, activate a stairway,
and escape into the night—we were immediately taken with
Nuk’s plight when she went missing a few weeks ago. We,
too, scoured Reykjavík in search of your kitty, and were all
very relieved when you found her safe and sound.
We were tickled to hear that you’ll be donating the
100,000ISK reward to two local animal shelters—we can’t
think of more deserving recipients of your generosity than
Dyrahjalp and Kattholt.
Bon Voyage to you and Nuk, in all your future travels
