Tiffy

It was a chilly evening, crickets rubbed their legs vibrating their songs, Damsie was on labor, she had to do it alone. No one knows where she was, the house was quiet, moments after silence would break to low mews of the newborn litter.

'Mew, mew' kitties cried, Damsie hurriedly brushed the fur of the kittens eating the kitten's placenta to replenish the energy used while giving birth.

Two kitties were born.

It was the longest night for Damsie.

2 months went by Damsie with her kitties happily walked going to an unfamiliar path. The green looked greener than their old home, the aroma of fried fish was thick on the air. Thud, thud, the sound of the ground being dugged reached the ears of Damsie.

'We're home now children' she whispered as she groomed her kittens' fur.

'Well well what a pleasant surprise!, Jay, Damsie's home!' a man of late 40's shouted.

"Where?" A younger voice responded

'Here, with her kitties, she must had given birth while we were at Korea."

The kittens were frightened by the enourmous hands approaching them, but before they tried to escape the man carefully held the kitten and observed their features.

'Dad what are we gonna name them?' Jay asked.

'This one looks like her mom, fluffy but her tail is longer, let's call her Tiffy. And this one, her tail is shorter like their mom, so let's call her Fiffy" Dad named Damsie's kittens and welcomed them home.

Damsie hopped to Tamsie the light yellow furred feline grooming her kitten 3 months older than Tiffy and Fiffy.

'Damsie welcome home! Are they your children?" Tamsie asked.

'Yes, they are mine and Tom's' Damsie replied.

'TOM?"

'Yes, Tom? Why?"

"That's Shorbetto's dad too!" Exclaimed Tamsie.

There was a silence. Then Damsie and Tamsie chuckled.

'What's their names?"

Damsie groomed her kittens playing around her side.

This is Tiffy and Fiffy.
