I have to tell this summer evening at the beach house because it really excited me and I would like to tell you about a world, a dimension perhaps unknown to you, until yesterday forgotten or not experienced by me too!
Maybe we know it exists but we haven't tried the taste or we just don't remember it anymore while in me, now, this taste, it's beautiful alive! A taste of affection, trust but also of perplexity.
The mother of the three kittens is confidant with us but is also distrustful and attentive at other times. Sometimes it doesn't seem easy to approach her, when you do then, they are cuddle jumps!
In the previous blog story I talked about the cat mom and her life-threatening puppy that we tried to save and cure and that, in fact, if I think about it, itโs a few days that I donโt see anymore.
Today I would like to add to this story that mom cat seems to have three puppies in total: two blacks of which, one with the spot under the neck and the other, white spot at the tip of the tail. The third seems to be the biggest and should have tiger marks on grays or browns, it does not show up or approach easily!
This evening after dinner at home, I went to the yard looking for Mom and to see how one of her puppies was: the one that "gets out of the den" when he hears me coming and runs towards me. At present Mother has found refuge under brambles and plants in the garden; there is a half forest there with a stone wall that delimits the most curious personalities that tend to roam.
"White stain on the tail" is a kitten known after "stain under the neck", the latter I haven't seen in a few days, I hope it's fine even if not He was in good condition when we found him!
Both black kittens have mucus on their eyes so they keep closed. They only open if we wash them with a soft sponge and some water.
When I approached their shelter this evening, tiger kitten holed up while my mother watched me spread out with white spot on her tail.
Mom, when she's with the kittens, doesn't get me too close. he leaps up or back, sometimes I can still in a greeting with some caress!
I sat on the ground among leaves and twigs with the scent of the trees and their fresh shade and I started to observe the mother and white spot on the tail. After a while, white spot on the tail came to meet me. I immediately noticed that, despite the cleaning and antibiotic cream given today on the eyes, he had his eyes completely closed.
I left for a few minutes, headed home and, after a short while, I joined them again with a wet sponge. As gently and gently as possible, I started caressing his face in an attempt to clean it. It wasn't easy because I think the kitten was sick of cleaning on a part like this, sore, swollen and clogged but, in the end, I saw him open his eyes!
That's good, that's good.
He has beautiful eyes, even so, even if in difficulty and in need of care!
He started playing and hanging around.
Vedendoci (credo) poco segue i rumori, i fruscii delle foglie, i passi o un rametto che si muove, anche se mi dร lโimpressione di riconoscermi. Sento che non sono qualcosa che teme ma si affida, mi cerca, gioca. Si fa prendere, pulire e quando lo rilascio in libertร , mi segue! Eโ una pallina di batuffolo nero, soffice e con un visino che sembra ti guardi e ti dica: << come sei bello, come si sta bene con te, ti voglio bene! >> mentre poi ritorna a giocare! Chi potrebbe non innamorarsi di un โqualcunoโ cosรฌ?
After a few minutes the biggest tiger puppy had put his nose out of the shelter; In front of it was the mother lying down and later on I, with white spot on the tail turning around me and playing.
Tigrato looked at me for several minutes, from the look and the gait it was clear that he was awake and also very little confidant!
After a while, as white spot on the tail leaped around and ambushed me, tiger approached me attracted by something. Before this it seems that he stopped by his mother and, that she, with myogolias, gave him the approval to approach!
I stood still, watching excited; I felt honored with such privilege: Seeing me approach something wild and unconfident but certainly very interesting. I wanted to get to know him too, but I knew it would not be possible in such a short time!
With a quick tiger step, he arrived one arm away from me. The light was darkening by now and for this reason I did not see the fantasy of the hair well but I was fascinated by its size and its safe movement. I didn't mean to scare him, so I just stood still. I believe that he was the leader of the brothers, the one who abounds in prudence and perhaps also looks after others, or perhaps thinks for himself! I don't know him enough. I'm looking for ideas.
Time to give me a glance with your eyes and then a quick run to the shelter and disappear in the dark!
I have in front of me and close to me a small family semi wild, made of confidence but also of much prudence and not all trust and never completely: it is better to stay smart and not be fooled!
In those minutes I realize that I am "out of the world" from that world we know about houses, human beings, economy, things to do.. but sometimes devoid of affection, emotion, warmth and feeling privileged, loved, part of something important, of a relationship made of affection!
I'm sitting on a ground with leaves and branches in the middle of Sardinian stone walls, as far as I don't know, could turn some snake in the area or some spider that I fear so much!
It seems that in Sardinia there are no poisonous snakes but there is the malmignatta, that is, the Mediterranean black widow Also known here as Argia.
The enthusiasm and magic of this moment, the company of these kittens and of the mother, goes beyond the usual phobias that eat me alive, and then, let alone if right here, a bit far from the stones, there are these dangers. I'll be careful, I think but in the meantime I enjoy the magic and warmth of these presences!
This corner of the garden wouldn't have the same magic and I wouldn't be sitting here feeling part of something if it weren't for this family of cats!
I felt their protector while I was sitting there and white spot on the tail played and jumped over me as Mom watched and tigered us studying the situation. I wasn't alone and I was in a magical place, full of scents of nature, Sardinia, I can't describe it.
How fresh this shadow is before the last sun salutes this day and what a wild corner we are in: We are here, hidden by everyone, is our secret refuge!
The days go by and, the worry of how the puppies are is not only more than their mother but also ours, mine! I also trust that, if I do not greet them every few hours, I feel a remarkable emptiness because they know to be an important presence, which fills, enriches those moments with cuddles. Cuddles, I'd like to specify charges of affection, you can feel it! The next day here, you are not forgotten as sometimes happens with humans.
What a magic this evening with the family of cats!
Will they make it? Will they heal in the eyes?
Is he all right? Is he still with them or is he lost again?
All this leaves room for a new day that will still begin: What will tomorrow be like?
