Kitten # 1 (illustrated by Lars Brown)

In Dream Of A Thousand Cats, the storyteller cat tells a tale of how he dreamed of change. The storyteller cat started out as any other cat, comfortable and taken care of by her humans….until the day she had kittens.

She was a pure-bred Siamese cat and the father of the kittens was a stray Tom Cat and the kittens were not “worth diddly-squat” to her humans. Her owner put the kittens in a bag with a rock tied to weigh it down and threw the bag into a pond.

It was at this point that the Storyteller cat decided to try to make a change for her and her kind.

This is one of the kittens that was senselessly killed for no reason other than it was not a pure-bred. I like this portrait from Lars. He definitely draws cute kittens and this one is adorable…a little bundle of fluff…
