air bones . . .

Since the kittens are rescue animals, we have no idea exactly when they were born or under what circumstances. We are just grateful to have them. The vet is guessing Bear was born in May and Ninja in June, about a month apart. But the original thought was that Bear was much older because of his size. He has paws the envy of a small elephant. Not until they found out how many baby teeth were still intact did she tell me we had a soon to be mamouth beastie on our hands. Sounds good to me . . . more cat to love. Ninja, on the other hand, is neat and petite. Tiny squirrel feet. So why when Bear is more than double her size, does he weigh not much more??? Air Bones. He is rangy with no body mass whatsoever . . . the only possible conclusion is bones made from air. He is light as a feather. You can hear her running . . . clomping . . . down the hall, he wisps past her in single bounds . . . quiet, muffled bounds.
