Paws And Promises

The kitten who found her way home.

- Prabha Kumar

The little Anshika, holding her mom's hand on the way back from nursery school-a routine stops over to play with kittens and cats along the way... and then halts at the pet shop, where she pampers the pets, feeds them... The shopkeeper waits for her and is amazed at her easygoing nature and friendliness-whether it's a dog, a cat, or even a bird.

One day, she was excited as her eyes fell on a tiny kitten—just a few days old. She told her mom, "It seems she's hungry!"

She pleaded with her mom, "Let's go to the pet shop to get her food." It was time for little Anshika to have her lunch, but her worry was all about the cute baby. They strolled back again to reach the pet shop, which took them 15 minutes.
