It was the first morning when I got to click pictures of all the kittens that were born a few months before in our campus housing. We fed the kittens with a few glasses of milk from the Cafeteria. Now this one(the one above) counts as one of my favorite. You can see small droplets of milk right under its lips. It was too good an opportunity to miss. And of course, I also had the brilliant moment to capture all the kittens feeding on their mom's breast milk.
I just wonder the load their mother cat has to bear...Five kittens feeding at the same time.
From their birth to the day I departed from Delhi, it was total of around 8 months...A few of them couldn't survive. In fact, one of them died right in front of my room. Her neck was snapped by an elder male cat who lived nearby. I was just helpless seeing her gasping for breath and knew nothing could be done. She passed away the next morning. From that day, I always spent some at the night patrolling the corridors making sure that they can sleep peacefully.
Out of the six kittens, three survived and when I visited Delhi a year later in February 2014 and I was so happy to see them grow strong and able to fend for themselves.
