Time for a cute little interlude about my dorm's newest residents.
When the two cats who live in our cafeteria got down to business no one expected that those mongrels could produce such cute little things, but then Adolf (so named for her moustache) was found to be a girl when she carried six tiny kittens into the dorm and deposited them underneath a dwarf palm in the courtyard. A week or so later, students who had previously chased Adolf away from their dinners are sharing leftover chicken with her so that she can feed her babies. Most of the Egyptian students seem uninterested, even disgusted with the little family, but the internationals have taken up a constant watch of les petits chats.
Adolf, as it turns out, is a pretty trusting mother now that the kittens can move around by themselves. She doesn't object to the kittens being held, (I even stole one for a bit to surprise my friends on the sixth floor) and a few names have been aggreed on by some of the residents -- Mish-Mish (Egyptian for apricots), Shib-Shib (flip-flops), and Spiderpig (the runt).
Babies!!!
