Three little orphaned kittens who'd been left with us died, one in my arms, one while I was out meeting friends and one strangled himself in a ghastly accident with bedsheet tassles.
The fourth lived.
Frantic after the last three deaths, I did everything I could for her. Soaked my stubble with Lactol so that she would suckle (this is why men make better surrogate cat mamas), stuffed food supplement paste and diarrhea medicine down her throat and generally let her treat me as a combined mattress and toilet.
Then Yasmine returned, and helped me clean the little kitten and continue administering doses of medicine. She also shared mattess and toilet duties with me, so I now had to change t-shirts only once a night.
Now we think she's going to live, and we'd like you to meet her.
Meet Chicky Little:

Hi Yasmine, thanks for your message. Yes, I want to join! How do I do this? thanks!
i have sent you an invite. you will get an email from blogger. welcome! :)
She reminds me so much of the little kitty that I met in a roadside shop while walking down the street in Bangalore in August of '07.
I believe you saw that kitten on my blog, but it is here:

I fear that kitten probably did not make it. I am glad you were there for Chicky.
You have an award waiting for you on my site. Take your pick of which one, or take them all. You are then supposed to pass them on to seven more sites, but I won't hold you to that.
