Dumped in the trash, on the side of the road, thrown away in a drive by, in a paper bag.
Yesterday morning around 3am, in the middle of the night, I heard a kitten screaming, but I thought it was a mother out hunting and the kitten felt a bit alone.
Then in the afternoon as I was walking past I saw them and took them with me, two tiny kittens, less than a week old, their eyes still closed and a dried up piece of umbilical cord still hanging from their bellies.
I put them in front of one of our cats, one who has had kittens for almost 3 weeks and she adopted them. Whether this is good or not remains to be seen. She has 4 kittens herself and a 2 week age difference is quite a lot when fighting for the mother's milk.
I can understand anyone who doesn't want or can't have more cats. Cats are a plague here. Most of them don't survive the first year, but there are too many kittens.
But if you feed a cat, you should at least be responsible enough to kill the kittens, even if it's not a pleasant activity. Throwing kittens on the side of the road like garbage as you drive past is definitely not a good work of God. Nor is it throwing away garbage itself.
These pictures are photos from the next day, i.e. today. The mother moved to another box at night and I wanted to see if she would take the two very small kittens with her. She did.
Thanks for reading and commenting.
