 Zeus and the baby kitties
As told by Zeus himself

A few months ago, I'm not sure how long 'cause I can't count yet, I'm too little, my kitty Kruger did a really funny thing. He was tellin' me about that his Mommy had new lil' kitties which of course were his brothers and sisters. He was feelin' kinda sad 'cause he was Bridgetts baby until now, so I told him maybe he could go see her in her box in the feed room. He thought that was a good idea, but he felt kinda bad 'cause he was afraid I might feel bad, like he was 'bandoning me. Well, he said he had a plan and he left for a lil while and came back with one of his sisters!!

She was only three days old, and he was carryin' her in his mouth. That kinda scared me 'cause I thought maybe he'd hurt her, but it was OK. He put her down in my stall next to me and went back and climbed into the cardboard box with his Mommy. Well, everything was OK for a while and I was sniffing the baby, but then I think she got real scared 'cause she started to cry. I tried to make her feel better but I was afraid to pick her up like Kurger did. I pick him up sometimes, but he's bigger and if I squeeze him too hard, he lets me know. Anyway, the lil cute thing just started cryin' louder and louder and I was gettin scared too. I hoped she was OK but I wasn't sure 'cause I can't understand baby kitties. I tried to stand real close to her to make her feel better, but she kept cryin' and cryin' and was gettin scareder and scareder.

Then all of a sudden I heard my owner Gina comin' into the barn to let us all out. I was really happy, but I was also scared that she would think I did something to the kitty. Well, Gina heard the cryin' and went looking for the baby and finally she looked over my stall door. I guess my face showed how scared I was 'cause she patted me and said everything was OK. She asked me how the kitty got there. I think she thought Bridgett put her there. I tried to tell her but she didn't understand. She finally figured it out when she went to put the baby back and found Kruger in the box instead.

Everything turned out OK and Gina told me I was real brave to try to help the kitty but I'm glad it's over. Boy, Kruger really was naughty that time. Anyway, I love Kruger, but I 'splained to him that I honest and really and truly don't mind if he leaves me alone to visit his Mommy.

Cross my Heart!
Bye, from Zeus
