An ode to Margarine, Templeton and Lucifer

Six kittens were found on 800 north on the afternoon of Friday, April 18th. On the afternoon of Saturday, April 19th, only three were left and the stray cat mother was no where to be seen. These baby cats needed food, shelter, warmth and a mother (which came in the form of my friends Ali, Anne, Kristen and I). It's my shift to take the "children" tonight. I will experience what Ali, Anne and Kristen have been doing. They have proved to be wonderful parents. They have fed them every two hours since that fateful Saturday afternoon and tried to make these kitten's experience as close to a normal kitten's their age. Even having these guys sleep with a battery powered clock to resemble a mother cat's heartbeat. Tomorrow we take these little guys to the Humane Society. And to Margarine, Templeton and Lucifer we say farewell, goodluck and godspeed.

I hear the birds outside and think to myself, "Lucifer?!" but it is never him.

What fantastic names you have for these little "children." Love the post...sad to hear that your children had to go but glad that you were such good parents to them for a day or two.
