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.
