Sad kitten video
I've been thinking a lot lately, wondering what, if anything, makes
sense. Among other things, I was touched by this video, about a kitten who was part of someone's life for only a matter of days, but was loved and not forgotten: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ9MG2NDIeQ |

Sad kitten video
Among other things, I was touched by this video, about a kitten who was part of someone's life for only a matter of days, but was loved and not forgotten: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ9MG2NDIeQ Kumani and Tyche were that age (actually, I think younger) when we got them. The vet guessed they were maybe 3 weeks old. We had no way of knowing if they'd been born with genetic diseases, or if they'd picked up diseases in the garbage where Dylan found them. They were also dumped behind a lab so who knows if they came from there? We had no way of knowing if they were okay inside or if they would stay that way. We weren't mom cats and we weren't vets and we weren't experienced with kittens but... ....the one thing we COULD do is give them a chance, and maybe they wouldn't make it, but maybe they would. We could give them a better chance than the overcrowded shelter or the streets and those were the best odds they'd been given. Tyche, strangely enough, sat still to watch that video with me. She is turning 3 years next month (As is her sister). It isn't about how long someone lives. It's about how much love they can receive--and give--in that lifetime. --Fil |

But now you've taken very good care of them and loved them, and made them all eldrich and joined at the butt, poking and lazing and playing. Betty was about three when I got her three years ago. She had already grown up into a very elegant young lady by the time we met. |

Awww, that's so sad! But now you've taken very good care of them and loved them, and made them all eldrich and joined at the butt, poking and lazing and playing. Betty was about three when I got her three years ago. She had already grown up into a very elegant young lady by the time we met. But if we couldn't...if there was something wrong that our love couldn't fix...we would never have regretted trying. We would never have regretted giving them that chance as best we could. I think we were fortunate to save both. Tyche was noticeably runty when we found them and Kumani became very ill at 9 months... Their names actually mean "By Destiny" (Kumani) and "By Chance" (Tyche) so either we were fated to save them, or we were lucky. --Fil |

This made me cry for at least an hour! What a way to start off my saturday...... I'm so happy this kitten had a chance to be loved, even if for a short time. Think about it - he died knowing that he was loved. It's worth it. |
