When you feel so tired, but you just can't sleep

+We found kittens in our camp! They are so damn adorable! When you pick one up, it rests snugly in a ball in your palm! And they have BLUE eyes!






+When we brought this box to the mother cat (of course we knew which cat was their mother), she actually ran away at the sight of us and a box, clearly frightened. But when we picked up her kittens and showed her, she actually stopped running so suddenly, you'll think she hit a wall. Then slowly, she advanced towards us, glanced into the box - and guess what - grabbed the first kitten she saw and took of with it. The mother cat risked her life to save her kittens.

+The whole thing took us so much by surprise that we didn't manage to catch up with the mother cat; she was astonishingly agile with a kitten in her mouth (the kitten in the first picture). So we were left with the 2 kittens above.

+We have since left the kittens alone somewhere safe, and I hope that they get reunited. The kittens like to wander around though, which is worrisome. The last time I checked, they were not in the box anymore. I cross my fingers and hope that nothing bad happens to something so adorable. At one point, I really really wanted to adopt one and keep it in my bunk but hey. I'm not that much of a nice guy yet. ;)
