You tell such good stories. This one sad. I envy your talent.
Dead kittens are like the saddest thing on earth. I'm sorry you had to... do that. I can't shake the image of those little holes along the fence.
Disease , starvation , wars limit unchecked population growth ..............sigh .......
Clearday, Twelveoone, great comments from folks who have provided such great guidance.
Lesse - its running its course, appreciate your sentiment. Sad thing is that I no longer cry when I do it.
Ashesh - Yep and the strongest survive.
"Another sad small life was ended"
this repeating
along with your descriptions of the frolicsome nature of the kittens gives the tone and melancholy feel you were aiming for, The best lines in context stated by 1201 but I feel the final stanza is the clincher.
