Presenting Dr Kit Kat (Giggleologist)

Dr Kit Kat is known for being purrfectly sweet and gentle. She can be quite easily spotted as she has adorable, fluffy, purple ears, a red nose and a smile like a Cheshire cat. Sometimes she is heard by her distinctive chocolatey, smooth voice singing songs that bring a smile to the face and a warm, furry feeling inside.  Occasionally she paws along with her Ukulele if her paws have been suitably clipped off course. She pads around the ward often accompanied by her playmate Choca Mocha Monkey, who is mischievously known for sniffing out anything sweet; particularly of the chocolate variety. So if they stop by to pay you a visit keep these treats out of sight, as Dr Kit Kat can’t guarantee to keep him under control. One thing she can guarantee though is that you’ll have lots of fun and hopefully lots of giggles too – after all that is Dr Kit Kat’s mission if you choose to accept it!
