I heard James yell "Shut up stupid cat!".

He picked something up and came outside, later I realized it was a gun.

He shot the kitten.

Blood drained out of her. Her eyes filled with fear and so did mine. The kitten whined for about 6 seconds and then closed her eyes.

She was dead.

I will never forget those 6 seconds and I will never forgive my owners.
After a couple hours of staring down at her small dead body with grief, anger and sadness, I put her in the bush I found her by carrying her by the scruff.

***

The next day, when I woke up I heard whining coming from the bush.
Was the kitten alive?! How?!
But the cat that came out of the bush wasn't the small kitten, it was a grown up cat. Disappointment washed over me.
Was that it's mom?
I guess it was whining because the kitten was dead...
Where was she a couple days ago when the kitten needed her?!
If she was there the kitten would still be alive! I was about to bark at her angrily when I realized she only had three legs.
Was that why she didn't come?
I decided to leave the cat alone. I missed that kitten a lot and I bet that cat did too.
