When I'm taking a photo next to something white, like a wall or a door, I point the flash to the left or right so that the light hits that surface and bounces across the subject.
This way, instead of having the light flash right in front of the subject (which spreads an even, sometimes stark light), it provides some contrast to the image where one side is lit and the other side has some shadow.
You'll notice the sheet on the left of the kitten photo is much brighter than on the right. I really like the effect.
If you have a point-and-shoot that doesn't have a movable flash, you can hold a sheet of white paper (or cardboard or even alfoil) to the side of the subject and you'll get a similar bounce.

I also used a lot of contrast between the white of her body and the black fur and shadow on her head. It was an experiment to shoot with such harsh lighting.
