Sad news today from my little corner of the world. Yesterday, three new kittens were added to our pack of stray cats that live in the parking lot of our building. From the looks of them and since we know which cat is the mother, I’d say they’re about 2 weeks old.

The friendliest kitten among them (pictured above) we found dead early this morning. From what we can tell she was in the street at the wrong time, and couldn’t make it out of the way of traffic. It seems that many of our neighbors were also saddened to find out. I could hear a lot of people talking outside, and the body was recovered quickly.

The rest of today was a downpour of rain with thick clouds blotting out the sun. A very depressing end to the week.

My Wife and I are even more worried about the other two kittens now that this has happened. If anyone knows of an animal adoption agency in Sendai, please let us know.

Sorry to bring all of you down, especially the bait and switch picture of a cute kitten…
