the kitten

As we left our compound Sunday morning, the neighborhood was already
bustling with grammas, carts, and kittens. KITTENS?! Inded two very
small kittens were wandering the sidewalk, unbeknowst to them, many
humans were awkwardly and adoringly dodging them to save their lives.

These kittens were tiny- like 1-2 weeks old. You could scoop 'em up in
the palm of your hand. And put them in your pocket. Their legs were
wobbly, and would fall down every few steps. They were curious and
unafraid to weave between parked motorcycles and human feet.

I couldn't help myself! I was melting already because of the Shanghai
summer, but these little guys were just too adorable. We stopped to
watch (aka rummage for my camera) and one of them came up to Timon's
foot, smelled it, then climbed ontop, his whole body sitting on
Timon's foot (flip flops). Then he hugged Timon. awwww! The kitten
wrapped his paws around his ankle and tried to climb up Timon's climb,
unsuccessfully.

I was still "aww"ing and rummaging in my cavenrous purse at this
point, when the kitten found a new interest and my camera came to
slow. That's my story of the kitten.
