Spider: who went on to live with my grandma and got killed by a car aged 2.
twiddle and Dee : who went to my dads friends and now live a very pampered house with there own bedroom!
Jimmy: who went to live with my aunt and is fussed by loads of small children daily.

raisin spent her early mothering days carrying round her kittens in her mouth and being a lovely mum. I had to keep count of the kittens, who we kept in a big box in front of the fire, but, one kitten kept going missing...domino. Raisin had taken a shine to her youngest kitten because she was the smallest and you would often find the two of them upstairs, she would feed domino because she struggled to get milk with the other 4, stronger kittens around.
With the fact raisin had taken such a shine to domino, domino being the smallest and the trouble with her birth, we decided to keep her for raisin to play with.
3 months after the other kittens had gone to there new home, raisin died.
She was knocked over by a car but still managed to come all the way home, we spend hours looking for her, we new she wouldn't be far due to domino being a newborn, went she didn't come back, we searched high and low, we looked outside at the night time and she had found her way home, her jaw was broke and she was bleeding.
We took her upstairs to get her ready for the vet, domino was trying to help her mum by licking her, her mum got upset due to being in pain and hissed at her, that is the last memory domino has of her mum.
We rushed her to the vet but they said even if we paid a lot of money, there was no guarantee she would survive.
They rang me to ask me weather i wanted her to be put down or to bring her home and let her die.
There i was, aged 10, heartbroken, if she came home, she wouldn't be able to eat, she would be in pain, and id be even more heartbroken.
I told the vets to let her go.
7 months after, we decided to get domino a play mate, we asked the man we got raisin off if he had more, he did, so we found a cousin of raisin and had a litter.
we went round, they were in undescriable condition, they were full of fleas, they were hardly feed and living in there own dirt and mess.
We took the most fragile two, looking back we no we should have took all of them, we do fear the worse, that the rest have died.
The two we did take, one went on to live with my gran the other now lives with us,
Dorothy.

Dorothy.Dorothy was nearly dead when we got her, she couldn't move because she had so many fleas sucking the life out of her, we've cleaned her up and apart from her being small for her age, she is a normal, healthy cat.
today is domino's 6Th birthday, she is a happy, lovely, beautiful cat and loves her little friend Dorothy and chip. she is my little baby and we all love her very much.
i will always remember her birth.
