The Tragedy of Kittens

Pepperdine was pregnant. Then she wasn't. We know it's a cruel world with many peculiarities. We thought they didn't make it or had been killed. Some weeks have passed. Then I heard an animal growl at me and saw its face - its crazy face! It was a kitten - but it ducked back under the shed quickly. I was feeding Pepperdine in the back yard and out tumbled four beautiful kittens. Three fluffy and one short-haired. Fluffy are- black and two grey. The short-haired is black and white. They are just as feral as Pepperdine. I can't get within 15 feet of them. They are wild. I sobbed to consider their hard lives. Dee said that they don't know they have hard lives - it's just life. They don't even know they have worms! Here is a picture of one of the kittens - they are taken from afar and I select the little kitten from the photo. There will be more.
