Furry little thing nr. two

CHAPTER nr. TWO

''Mother hasn't come home for a week now, I'm a little worried. Hope she isn't freezing somewhere, nights are getting colder.'' Kitten is trembling and still wonders, how life outside the fence looks like. ''Is it possible that my sister found a new place to stay, a better home?''

''Ok, I'll stand up, move my feet. Oops!'' kitten stumbled upon a basket. ''Gosh it's so cold. Well, look at this, fence still open, I'll just go and have a look.''. He can't resist his curiosity.

As kitten slowly walks towards the fence, a big car suddenly drives by. Kitten gets scared a little bit but he doesn't want to return. He steps outside and on the left in the distance sees something on the street. ''Oh no, it's my sister.'' 

He runs and runs away and doesn't mind people and cars and everything around him... ''She's gone!'' She's been there for few days now. ''Oh my, what happened? This outside world is so cruel. I just want to sit right next to her and I don't know.. wait.. maybe she comes back.''

As a car approaches, it stops right in front of kitten. He can now see, that he got another chance in life. He has to make a meaning out of it. So kitten runs to the end of the street and looks back at his sister. He can see her there lying so alone. 

In that moment kitten promises to self, ''I will never forget her.''

Furry little thing

It’s foggy November morning, I open my eyes. My brothers are right next to me in small basket with purple blanket underneath. Blanket is filthy as we all are. Children of the street.

  

Even thought we do live next to one old house, they don't give us much attention. We get some food once a day, maybe twice and it's mostly some meat with potatoes or bread. We sometimes get milk on mornings. It's that kind of morning today.

I don't remember my mother, either my early childhood. She comes from time to time, but she hasn’t come for a while now. Memories are all very blurred and I'm always so sleepy...

As we grew a little older, some of my brothers are playing with me, I'm so proud of my family. When chilly night falls on us, we sleep next to each other again and I feel safe.

Ugh, even days are now getting colder. I don't know what I'd do if I were alone here. We talk about the world behind the fence. It’s always opened and it calls for us to look out. But we're afraid what we might find there.

Once my little sister went out and she never came back. She is very curious and brave. Maybe one day I might go and maybe I'll find her. But not today, rain is pouring, my blanket is so soft...
