“I’m going to throw away the kittens! We cannot afford to feed a lot of cats!”

“But, Pa, they will die out there!”

“I don’t care. I cannot stand them anymore.”

“Please, Pa, let them grow until they weaned.”

“Ok. That’s a deal. If you don’t rid of those cats, I’ll be the one.”

After a few months, one day, when everybody got home, the mother was looking for the two other kittens. It was only one that’s left, and the skinniest. She asked her daughter when she came home.

“The other two kittens are missing. Don’t you think that big stray cat killed them?”

“No, I left them alone outside the house. They will be all right, I hope. At least they’re in the neighborhood. They will survive. I’d prefer that than Papa leaving them still little babies who are dependent of their mother’s milk, and would surely die when left alone.”

“Hmm… Another addition to the stray cats family.”
