David (my cousin) discovered 4 baby kittens in his bathroom last weekend and hence, he decided to keep them until they grow older. Nobody knows for real how those kittens actually got there, because Aunty Olive mentioned that they discovered the kittens in the strangest place — under the bathtub! I was not very surprised to hear that as, after all, their house is located in a rather secluded area where many stray animals roam.

I dropped by David’s house to play with the kittens and I couldn’t stop gushing over them. I have never seen such tiny kittens in my life. All four of them were so cute and furry and I couldn’t stop cuddling them. One particular kitten was so active that he couldn’t stop frisking around. At one point, he did a little somersault at the kitchen doorway while David shrieked in surprise. The little black kitten is the most intelligent of all and he could easily find his way around the house even though we left him alone for a while. Another brown kitten would continuously claw at me each time I tried to feed him with the milk bottle. Last but not least, there is a little white kitten which I can only describe as being “blur”, nothing else.

I carried two kittens on my lap and settled on the couch to watch the finale of “Baby Boom”. At one point, I felt a sense of uneasiness, like as though I was being watched by someone. I looked down and saw the little innocent eyes of the black kitten staring at me. When I caught his gaze, he mewed softly and snuggled into my T-Shirt. The grey kitten beside it then yawned and fell asleep again. David sat beside me with the brown and white kittens sound asleep on his lap as well.

The kittens were wide awake once again by the time the show ended and since we had run out of things to do, Merle, David and I decided to have a little “kitten race”. We positioned the kittens at one end of the living room, creating a finishing line near the other end and started the race. However, this “race” didn’t go very well as these little kittens obviously don’t realise that the shortest path between two points is a straight line. They were crawling everywhere except making their way to the finish line. The little white kitten crawled into David’s smelly school shoes and made himself comfortable while two kittens crawled behind the piano, refusing to come out. Merle carried the brown kitten and tried to feed him with the bottle again, and that was the time when the kitten decided to empty its bowels. A rather large pool of yellow liquid was slowly forming in the middle of the living room with David complaining with disgust.

Thank goodness it didn’t stain the living room rug!

A really eventful day which managed to divert my thoughts away from my promotional exams. Speaking of the promotional exams, I completely screwed up the Physics Paper 1 which was held today as well. I couldn’t answer 35% of the questions and thus, had to make wild guesses for most of them. In other words, teekam. This is really a hopeless case…
