FATAL SENrIMENTAL1rY

From the time her plight be-
came obvious, 1 planned to take
her to a veterinarian and have
her put to sleep, where she
would be eternally safe. Instead
of acting on the judgment that
said an easy death under anes-
thetic was best, 1 kept putting it
off because the kitten was so en-
dearing. AS she couldn't very
well be kept indoors all the time,
and she hadn't a chance outdoors,
quick, easy death was the
right answer. Instead of steeling
myself to have that job done, 1
let her live to meet death alone
in terror and pain.

BRIGHT MEMORY

In four short months, however,
that little kitten gave more plea
sure than it would seem possible
to crowd into so short space.
She was an affectionate little
thing, eager to please and to
be loved. In attaining those aims
she was more successful than
most people, for she did please
and she was loved. Every person
who has ever lost beloved pet
will understand the empty spot
little Starbaby's death left.
Theren be other kittens, just as
dearly loved, but gentle little
Stars memory will remain a
bright mischievous twinkle.

TOO HESITANT

1t is Stars owner, myself, who
is really to blame. From birth,
the kitten was never quite nor
NAL, physically, and it was soon
obvious that her right shoulder
was weak and her right front leg
was short. This threw her off
balance and caused her to carry
her head at an angle, which look
ed coy but actually was a SER
ious handicap to her. In the
house or outdoors by herself she
was as frisky as any other kitten,
but she was not surefooted en-
ough to protect herself in danger.
OF course, the beach, with no
trees or anything else to climb,
isn't a safe place for normal cat,
let alone a handicapped one.

DANNY KNEW

When Starbaby's doting hui
man came home from work, the
kittens mother, Danny, ran to
the car, jumped in the instant
the door was opened and showed
in every way she knew that
something was very, very wrong.
Just few steps away, in the
sand, lay the stiff, cold body of
the little kitten, which only a
few hours before had been so
full of play and mischief.

NATURES WAY

l cannot blame the dog, if dog
it was, that snapped out Stars
life, for it's dog nature to chase
cats and kill them, just as it is
cat nature to pounce on a mouse.
1t is better that l never know
whose dog was responsible, for
this way cannot harbor any i'll
will for something that the own
er probably could not have help
ed if he had seen it happen.

HARD TO TAKE

The owner of any cat knows
that at best its life will be brief.
When one dies of old age or ILL
ness, its owner may feel bereft
but accepts that as natures way.
AS Starbaby's death wasn't like
that, it is harder to accept.

reached out the other day and
snatched the life of Starbaby,
small, partially crippled kitten
who for four months has brought
entertainment and gaiety to the

traditional enemy of catdom, was
the tool of tragedy, for little
