[♘.16] [video]
[ Sousuke's inside when the feed clicks on, close to the orange glow of a rustic hearth. ]
It's been so cold recently that I'm surprised any new lives were able to survive the outdoors in such conditions. As of this morning, I found a few unexpected lodgers under the bush outside my back-door, and they appear to contrast every odd that would otherwise foil their existence.
[ He swerves the video to a mother cat and three kittens, all of them comfortable and warm on a thick blanket where Sousuke has brought them in from the cold. Each of the little ones have been named, evidently, because he has to pick up the wriggliest, blackest of the trio and softly scold Madara for jumping on Miles' head. Tiny Toushirou appears to pout against his mother's tummy, then tuck himself away under his brothers shyly. ]
They're very friendly - [ said as he tickles between the mother's ears ] - for stray animals. She may have been kicked out due to being pregnant, but her fear of people remains exceptionally low. It's a very small litter, my guess would be the rest died of frostbite.
Permitting a week for them to grow strong enough to leave her, would anyone like to house a kitten?
