One Angry Kitten

One Angry Kitten (from the series: They Move Amongst Us)

I seem to remember there were six kittens in the litter. Five were almost pure white, like this one, and the other was jet black. They had the deepest blue eyes I can remember and they were born in unpromising conditions, beneath the house of a friend of mine. They weren’t quite sure whether they were tame or feral. My friend taught them to be tame. He cared for them and eventually found homes for them.

One sunny day in Austin, I visited him and enjoyed tormenting the kittens with dancing string. They alternated between chasing the string and fighting amongst themselves. They never had names, but I guess they do now.
