Innocence brim in them, fear of the unknown and longing for support evident in their eyes. The two little kittens less than a month in this brave bold world kept their eye contact intact.
Neither did they blink nor did they move, waiting for their mother under a small water pipe on the only road on Havelock. Neither the approaching wind nor the new entry in their territory scared them. They tried to glare and make noise and fight but never moved.
Their fighting spirit touched me. It’s definitely their innocence which will be lost as they grow. How many cats do we see around which do not move when they see a new person?
Any child is like that, be it kitten, a calf or our own. They cry, they smile, they talk, they imagine and fill our lives with joy.
Kids are an instant stress reliever. They neither understand money nor understand the fear of losing. If you are harsh on them they would fight back telling ‘when I grow up and you become child I will be harsh as well’, and if you show sad faces they will walk up to you and tell don’t worry ‘I will not do, I will take care when you are a child’.
Even though I scared the kittens… I could not resist myself from taking this pic.
