On 5/21/05, my foster Sugartoes gave birth to 5 beautiful babies.
You can see the orange baby on the bottom left, gray baby top left, tortie baby top right, and in the middle is Baby Black! There is also a tabby baby, on the bottom of the pile I think.
This is a pic from the day they were born. The fuzzy black line is the wire of the cage they are in.
On Tuesday night, 5/24/05, I came home to find Baby Black in a corner of the box, cold. Despite trying to revive him (her?), he was gone. The children, John and I buried him under our honeysuckle tree, with fresh sprigs of catnip. We placed honeysuckle flowers on top of the grave.
The other babies are doing well, but this tiny black angel is gone. He was not solid black, he had the hint of stripes which showed in the bright light. And he even had some long white hairs peeking through the black. He would have made a beautiful full grown cat, but that was not to be. He is now at peace, and warm and cozy again. He will be missed.
