There were six of us all together born outside. We couldn't see the rain because our eyes were not opened yet, but we felt it. We were curled up in a tight kitten ball getting soaked while the winds blew and the world changed forever in Southwest Florida. We had no idea where our mother was when we finally opened out eyes. We were hungry and cold and wet and cried and cried and cried for her. She never came back. All we knew was each other and the damp ground we could only squirm around on. We cried out for her for two days straight when at last the strangest thing happened, we were lifted up, dried by strange hand and place on a towel and in a cardboard box. Of course, we had no idea what this strange place was but we were dry and getting warmer. It smelled funny and made us nervous. Then a hand again picked us up and shoved a strange thing in our mouth, it was sort of shaped like our mother and we one by one latched on and nursed. That was sort of comforting and the hunger went away, we were so tired, we finally fell asleep in our strange new funny smelling world.
