I snuggled closer to my mother and tried to keep away from the human shapes that flitted like dark shadows. I was never far from her. She called me the loneliest kitten \u003cem\u003eever\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The humans didn't want us. One day the man threw us kittens into a box and drove away in his growling beast. We slithered every which way until the truck stopped, then the bottom broke and I slid out onto a hard grey surface. The man made angry sounds, picked up the box with my brothers and sisters and kept going until I couldn't hear them anymore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Alone and afraid I hid under a blue metal bin as big as a house. Sometimes bits of food fell out, meat or bread or other slimy stuff. I drank from the puddles at night and ate moths and crawling things. I was sure that no one ever saw me - none of the quick, stomping humans with their loose, grey overalls carrying clanky, heavy things here and there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e There was no soft green grass, no shelter from the wind, but under the blue metal bin as big as a house I was dry and hidden away. Hiding was my best talent. I crept low. I slunk quietly, never meowing or making a sound. Sometimes hissing cats or drooling dogs tried to get at me under the bin. They could only get their paws in the small space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e A large hand reached under and grabbed me. Where would I be taken this time? I had learned that life was full of sudden things.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Linda Ruth Brooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/26\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780645081770\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 8.50w x 0.06d","brand":"Linda Ruth Brooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45111869505717,"sku":"9780645081770","price":12.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_09d1d272-3e5b-42ac-b66a-8d26078325e2.jpg?v=1739887399","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-loneliest-kitten-ever-9780645081770","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
