kitty news

a couple of days ago, i think it was friday, me and some friends were hanging around the khokha after a pretty interesting amir alvi & KV concert. roaming around there was this extremely hyper kitten - about a month old - very friendly too. so we were just generally playing with him and stuff and soon he found some food and started gnawing away at a bone. also in the same area lives a full grown female cat and her two kittens. apparently, before i got there, the kitten had had one tiff with her over some thing and both had backed off.

so, we're sitting there talking, and the full-grown cat starts coming towards the little kitten who's still eating the bone - completely oblivious. i still can't believe we didn't drive her away sooner - dumb ibad and his "survival of the fittest" had us completely confused, i guess - but the short of the long is that the little kitten got ambushed from behind and is currently a patient in my room due to his injured spinal nerve.

so he can't move his hind legs, which is extremely sad because this had to be the most active kitten i've ever seen. took him to th vet who says there's still hope, there's minor control over the legs. however, he's not eating properly, and is drowsy from the medication. and truth be told, i believe the three of us - naureen, tz and i - might be too selfish to put him to sleep if it comes to that. i hope it doesn't and that he gets better in the next couple of days like the vet said he would.
