Under Yuko's Bed


A little over a week ago Dr. Kim and I visited Point Pedro for a couple of days. We were there to look at the operating room set-up, the clinic set-up, and the relationship between the MSF physicians and the MO's (medical officers from Sri Lanka.) During this visit, we were introduced to Ward 7, the small kitten that adopted the MSF house. The kitten was pregnant at the time. However, 2 nights ago she delivered her first litter of 4 kittens. She apparently howled all night long, keeping Yuko, the nurse, up and awake. After all, she delivered the kittens in a small box under Yuko's bed. That is where they remain. Under Yuko's bed. There are probably few higher compliments than being adopted by a cat, with the possible exception of being chosen as the delivery room for a litter of kittens. Good job Yuko.

  1. How appropriate for you to send pictures across the ocean of a cat with kittens. I love it!

  2. Maybe you could bring them home with you, you know, for remembrance! Nothing's better than a sweet, purring friend!
