For two weeks that spring, we humans were priviliged to have The Cat and Sprocket’s families living on the terrace, literally under our windows. For now, the kittens played happily, and grew stronger and bigger. Soon it would be time for weaning, but for these two weeks their mothers continued to provide everything they needed and we were able to watch their lives unfolding as they learned about the world around them.
