An encounter with wild kittens (civets)
Rusty’s explorations lead to many unusual feats, which always fascinated us. We had an outhouse with a small verandah. We used to store unwanted articles in that area. There were few cardboard boxes filled with newspapers and waste products. We never used to venture in that area unless required. But the whole area was under supervision of Rusty. One day he was on his regular inspection, he spotted some kittens in that area. Now, his barking and attacking was really worth mentioning.
There were 3 wild kittens of a Civet (wild cat) who found our verandah a safer bet than nearby forest. But she lost her bet to our dear Rusty. He picked each of the kittens one by one, brought them in the front lawn. He started holding them from neck and took a deadly round with kittens in his mouth. They were scared stiff and shocked.
I came out to see what the commotion was about. I was surprised to see our gentle Rusty scaring the little ones. I shouted at him and caught hold of Rusty. I rescued the kittens and kept them in a basket. Then they were released in the nearby forest close to our house so that mother of kittens can find them.
Nosy Rusty can’t stand unusual guest in his territory!
