One of the things I look forward to everyday is seeing if the kittens have grown. Mumbai has a good number of stray animals, dogs, cats, and chickens. Our building compound doesn't see any chickens or really even any dogs, but we have a lot of cats. Its a cat friendly area with minimal traffic and lots of hiding places. A couple of weeks ago I heard a tiny "mew" come from the back window and opened it to see the smallest, cutest kitten in the world staring up at me. Now Mama and her three little ones are regular tenets at our building compund. People put out little food treats for them and watch the kittens scamper about and explore. It is such a treat to have them around and watch them grow.
Adorable! The kittens and their scampering clumsiness remind me of baby Howard (my pet cat who is now living with my parents. I adpoted him when he was just about the same size as these little ones.) Really, these kittens are some of the best friends I have here in India. But I don't dare name them because I know one day they'll be big enough or bold enough that they won't turn up at my window. Until then, I'll just swoon over them like a little girl.
