How Would You Like to Give Birth Here?

That young mother, with nobody, gave birth in the passenger side floor of a wrecked car full of trash and junk. This is the way a lot of cars involved in wrecks or abandoned look inside, then are towed to wrecking yards. There, they await retrieval by owner or an insurance settlement then they are crushed for scrap. Many are total trash inside. This is where I found the four kittens' I now have here, along with their mother, in this disgusting car right down there amidst the trash and broken glass on an old newspaper.

And this is the male I was after there, father to at least two of the kittens, very obviously. He'll be neutered Friday. The business next door is where I caught him, after following him down the railroad tracks. They don't want him around. He sometimes sleeps in old boxes in a seed bay and rummages through their dumpsters looking for food. So I don't know what to do with him after his neuter job.

These poor cats live hard lives, that's for sure. Too bad people don't fix their pets. Too bad people abandon them like trash. I don't think they understand how much they suffer, like that mother giving birth where she did.

Is that what you imagine will happen to your kitty after you dump her along a road, assholes? Her starving nearly to death and giving birth amidst broken glass and human trash? In a wrecking yard, where the carelessness and mayhem humans and their machines create, is lined up in rows of junker smashed stories like caskets in a war zone, and where the only human present, periodically, is shooting nutria with a black pistol while sipping a mixed drink? Is that ok with you people out there who dump your cats, or do you just not give a fuck?

She's a good cat, and a good mother, now happy and content and unbelieving still, at the food available. Her eyes light up ever so slightly when I refill her dish but she doesn't want to get to comfortable because all this has to end, she thinks. She's relieved, too. She can love her kittens like she always wanted to love and care for them. And not like she had to, out there. She knew they were going to die. She's just a little mother and a quiet soul who nobody even noticed was desperate to the bone. A very good soul. Quiet and unobtrusive.

You people out there, who did this to her, or to others like her, please. You could do so much better. You could be noble. You don't have to be mean. It's a choice to be mean like that. You could just have easily chosen the light.
