Whirr the sound of car engines made a loud noise. The little kittens, which were ginger and tortoiseshell, were scared, nervous and worried.

Two little kittens had been abandoned at a very young age. The tortoiseshell was the biggest. Just then a white van approached the kittens. The little ginger one was trembling and shaking. About a metre away from the tiny animals the van stopped. Then one of the vans doors opened and a person stepped out. He walked towards the female tortoiseshell and picked her up. Then he put her in the back of the white van and he drove off.

The remaining 3 week old kitten meowed in his tiny high-pitched voice. He walked slowly across the busy road. He found a bin, he summoned all his weak strength and eventually reached the top.The little fluff ball had every bone in his body sticking out. He was use to eating out of the bin. But there was nothing. Bad luck. He walked over to a sheltered area.

The weather was horrible, the rain was pouring down heavily. Every time a drop of rain fell on him, he felt a shrill moment of intense pain. He tried to stand up but he soon fell back down. He tried again but collapsed in a mass of ginger fur. He soon fell asleep. The next morning he walked over to the bin. When he got onto the pavement he felt like he was being watched.

But who was it? What was it? Suddenly a man with a gun pulled back the trigger then he let go. The bullet whizzed through the air at the top speed. Then it hit the kitten. There was a loud meow. When the kitten woke up he was being bandaged up.

Three years later he had a home. He loves his new home. He got fed and played with and cuddled. They had decided to call him Ringo because of his distinctive brown rings. Ringo no longer had bones sticking out of his body. His new owners had a little cat that looked older than Ringo. But then he recognised her. She was the tortoiseshell that had been abandoned with Ringo.

The owners had called her Rose. Rose was very cute and playful. Ringo could still remember what his kitten hood had been like. But now he was looked after.Acacia Murrin, Class 4 - Welland Primary School
