An unhealthily tiny white shekit with ginger splotches and justopened saphire eyes stumbled in. Can i- cough stay here?- cough. She rasped. She saw some sharp pine nettles. So hungry... she thought and stumbled towards them. She licked them up and her eyes got wide. Owww! She wailed. She started choking on the nettles. The poor kit collapsed because her little paws could no longer support her weight. She gasped for breath. Help! She screamed then went silent. Her body went limp and her fur went cold while her glazed eyes stared sightlessly at the sun. A bigger kit came in, he was fire orange with dark tigerstripes and gray eyes. He looked at the kit. Tiny... he whispered. A single tear rolled down his cheek. No. He whimpered.

A small golden blind she kit with big blue eyes is quickly dropped in the forest by a ginger she cat with blue eyes- the kits mother. The mother runs away, hoping that someone will find her tiny blind kit and take care of it. The kit wails and curls up into a little ball, tired alone and hungry.
