Description

Sorry for the bad picture, but it was dark and I'm lacking a good editing program at the moment. Just wanted to post this, and tell the story behind it.

I'm sorry for the wall of text, no need to read it, I just want to tell the story. I'm also sorry for misspelling and typos.

Story behind the photo:
When my dad picked me up from school yesterday, he told me that my aunt had heard some weird noises when she was cleaning grandma´s house. We sold it a week ago, and we gave the new owners the keys today. But anyway, me and my dad went to grandma´s house to check what the sound was. My aunt said she thought it sounded like kittens, but my dad didn't really believe her. It turned out to be two very small kittens.
The house have been empty for some weeks now, and then we suddenly started to clean it up one last time before the new owners moved in, and it seemed to have scared away the mom, so the kittens had been alone for 1 or 2 days. When my dad and I found them they came to us from they hiding, and we took them with us. We couldn't leave them there without their mom and the house was sold and everything.
When we got home we called a place that takes care of homeless cats, and one of the ladies that works there is a vet. We could keep them, they were too small to live without their mom and we don't have what we need or the time to take care of them. So the lady said we could come to the cat place later and then they would take care of the kittens. We did, but before that I had to keep an eye on them for some hours. It was great :aww: I have never really liked small things like puppies and kittens, at least not when they are very small and helpless. I'm afraid they are going to break in half if I look at them, and I don't really know what to do ^^; This time it was something else. I opened the cage and sat down next to it. They had no idea what was going on and were hiding behind each other inside the cage. The biggest of them were the bravest, and it didn't take long before he/she was walking carefully and very clumsy around on the floor. A little later his/her little sister came out of the cage as well (I assumed she was a she because she had 3 colors, and because of how the cat genes work it very rare on males).
Anyway, after half an hour, they both found their way onto my lap. I didn't pick them up and put them there, I just sat very still and watched them... it was weird, but at the same time, very nice :aww:
It was hard to give them to the lady, and it got even harder when she said they may not survive. She said she was going to help them as much as she could, but she couldn't promise success.

I hope they make it, I really do :meow:

Also, I think I know who is the owner of the mom (It's not too many cats around, and most of them are males). And this is not the first time she have given birth to kittens away from her home. The owners don't want kittens, not very long ago, a teen cat came to us and stayed around for a while, the teen cat was a kitten of the cat as well. Our neighbors told us he had tried several times to tell the owners of the mom to take care of the kittens and if they didn't want kittens they could sterilize their cat... They don't want to sterilize her, but they don't want to kittens either..

I think I'm going to take this down soon, I just wanted to share the story and the cuteness
