The first time I ever saw a kitten was in my backyard. Amidst the mulch I was playing in I found a magazine clipping that caught my eye, yet as I looked at it I also saw to my right was an orange long-haired kitten.

The kitten was adorable. Lol. I built a pretend wall around the front step in our garage made of Legos and other kid toys. After my parental units allowed me to have a kitten, I was happy. I remember that sweet kitten as if it was yesterday.

My parents allowed me to have that sweet kitten, whose name I shall not share, simply because I adored that kitten, but that kitten was the most special thing in my life, other than my parents.

We as a family took care and fed and nursed the little kitten. All the kitten needed was love. Truly, anyone who mistreats an literal animal or commits animal cruelty, literally scares me.

It brings me joy to think back on the first pet I had. I honestly wish I had a kitten. As I live and breathe I would never let any animal be harmed or put in harms way. Yes, an actually helpless cute kitten was my first pet.
