Dear Diary,

I was just born yesterday, and I have no idea what's happening to me.
I know that I can't open my eyes, there's some type of stuffs on my eye-lids that's keeping my eyes shut.
Yesterday, my mommy pushed me out of that cramped place with all those kittens, and then suddenly something grabbed me.
It don’t think that it was mommy.
Then they did something to my eyes, and I know that it's because of that that my eyes hurt and I can't open them.
Man, that cramped place was better compared to this, because I can’t see a thing!
I know that mommy had to lick us so’s that we know her scent before humans touch us, but she didn’t get a chance!
Those mean humans sure’s don’t listen!
But I’m not sure….
I know for sure that this metal thing that they put me in is small, cold and uncomftorable.
But this will improve soon!
But I don't know much, after all, I'm only one day old!


Dear Diary,

Hi, it's me again. Now I can understand how to move around a bit, but this metal cage is cramped and it's still hard to move around.
But as mommy says "Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow." Translation: Practice makes perfect!


Dear Diary,

This thing with my eyes is getting annoying. Why are humans like that?
What do they have against cats, anyway?


Dear Diary,

Well, I’ve pretty much gotten the hang of this blindness thing.
Maybe I’m one of those dislabeled cats that mommy’s talking about!


Dear Diary,

Today Spot, my brother tried to claw the stuff off, but now my eyelid’s all scratched, but I still can't see.


Dear Diary,

Sorry that I have not written in a while, I’ve been pretty busy, doing lotsa stuff.
My sister Lucy disappeared a while ago, and I’ve been smelling for her for a while, but even I couldn’t track Lucy’s scent.
I have the bestest nose in the litter, mommy told me once!
But that was when I was 2 days old. then they took her away, and I couldn't ever hear her again!


Dear Diary,

Brownie and Pancake disappeared yesterday. Where are all the kittens going?
Are they hiding something from me? I hate being left out!


Dear Diary,

The milk was spoiled so I was almost dying of thirst.
I’m hungry, and I don’t think I like the humans peoples much any mores.


Dear Diary,

The humans finally took me to where Pancake, Lucy, Brownie, and Tommy were’s hiding. They didn’t sounds happy, and kept meowing pitifully.
What are they wining about? There's lots of space in this thing, and it's like we're free, but there's not enough food to go around.
What’s wrong?


Dear Diary,

This is horrible!
There’s no food excepts rats, and mice are better!
Oh, yeah, Michael and Angela came today. That's the last of them. No we're a full family, only there's still no mommy. I miss her. I wonder where she is?


Dear Diary,

Lucy and Brownie died!
There’s was no more mice or rats, so’s they died of hunger.


Dear Diary,

I’m really hungry, there’s was only one rat today, and when we all split it, there’s wasn’t enough!
I really don’t like this.

Dear Diary,

I’m hungry, dirty, tired and I don’t want to be likes this.


Dear Diary,

I can’t take this one second longer…..
Atleast I'll see Lucy and Brownie soon....

************* Because of the demand for a part 2, I am going to write 1 more diary entry where the kittens go to heaven.

Dear Diary,
It is so wonderful now!
Now I can run and play and laugh and dance with all the kittens.
And the best part of all is that I can see now.
I am so happy, and everything is perfect.
The milk here is much better and everyone here lives in peace and harmony in the world of many colors and the place where dreams come true.
I watch over my other brothers and sisters. I want them to know that it will be okay, and that they, too, will come to this world where everything is much better.
But I am not in a rush, for I know that their time will come.

I read this before I joined, it made me sad and I wanted to tell you about it, but I couldn't make a comment! Somebody save the animals!

I read this awhile ago, but I didn't really, say anything. It is very sad with out part 2. It's nice you can believe in something like Heaven. Very good work, it's original. Not too short either, The including the spelling errors are intentional was a good idea Good work. You can lower the age rating though.

Yes, I must agree with Leigh. This is one of the saddest diaries I've read. But it's really good. Might I ask- what inspired you to write this? It seems like you know how the kitten felt. That makes me start thinking.

        08-21-2005     Leigh Gilholm Fisher        

I read this a while ago and thought it was soooooooo sad! But now that there is a part 2 it is much happyer!

        08-20-2005     Sarah Barrett        

YAY! you made a part two! that is so cute..........................................................you should make a part 3... and have all the kitties together......

        05-30-2005     Jane Lee        

This is such a sad story. I wonder what the humans put on the little kitten's eyes. Were they abandoned?? I don't think i understand this very well.

        04-24-2005     Mika Lee        

Sad..... Wah! Why everyone make stories cruel to poor whittle kitties! Wahh!!! Lol. just kidding. Its really good but maybe adding dates to it might be better because the part like the one that said, "Sorry I havem't written in a while," you dont know how long its been. Good job

That was so sad! *CRIES AS LOUD AS SHE CAN* That story realy reminded me of my cat molly. I hope you write part two cuz crulity to animals is so wrong! I love cats a lot and It hurt lots to see how Molly wasn't eating that's why I don't watch the pokemon movie the one with celibe because it reminds me too much about her so I cry. This story is so sad it's worth the points!

This story really made me feel sad for the poor kitten. I really love cats, and I hope that anyone reading this will understand that cats are living creatures and not toys. I really hate it when I hear about an animal being abused. They have feelings too! Thanks for this story, and I hope that many people read it.

*cries* This is the sadest thing I have ever read. As I read it I pitured a little kitten so so so small Gray with black and dark brown stripes.

I miss my cat. His Name was TJ. It stands for Tiger Jounior. He died about a year and a half ago I think. He died because hi kidnees stoped working. Those are the things that clean out your blood. So thay stoped working but we didn't know and he wasn't eating we idn't know why. He got really skinny, we didn't know why. So we finally we took him to the vet down a block or two. I didn't get to go. then when my mo and dad got home from the vet they told us that the vet was going to have to put TJ to sleep. I cried for about an hour and a half. even though it has been over a year I still cry and think about him all the time. I hope he remembers me.

Any ways That was the best story and sadest I have ever read it is wonderful. I agree with Caitlin too, you should make a part two.

this is so sad..... :-( too bad it's true...

        09-04-2004     Lisa Anderson        

sad. this story seems uncomplete like caitlin said. abuse to animals IS very wrong. cats are my favorite animal :(

        09-02-2004     hedwig        

Woah this is sad I like kittens. I demand a happy ending for the kitties! You should make a part two for when the kittens go to heaven.

        08-25-2004     Gregory Christiano        

Very compelling and touching with its personification. The thing I like best about it is its diary format which gives the kitten's story depth and feeling. This format keeps the reader interested to learn more, like turning page after page to find out what will happen next! It is very original in concept and creativity. Nice job all around.
