Why do we torture ourselves? We also have a season, at the beginning of the summer, when there are kittens everywhere. Unfortunately there is only one shelter here in Bahrain, so the unfortunate reality is that many of them are PTS, as they cannot all be homed.


Every year I torture myself, picking up strays at shopping centres, the roadside, and also those brought to me by my co-workers, only to deliver them to an uncertain fate at the shelter. I try to tell myself that it is preferable that they are PTS than grow up living a terrible life on the street, but I cry when I think about them.
