Here’s a summary of the text with the requested elements marked:
This text, “KITTENS” by Miles Mathis, published on May 28, 2024, is a personal account of the author’s cats and kittens. Miles Mathis shares details about Clover’s litter of five kittens, describing their appearances and temperaments. He mentions Pushkin and her resemblance to her aunt, a white kitten with potential Ragdoll traits and some Siamese lineage, referencing Willow, an intact male cat who also displayed Siamese characteristics despite his parents not being Siamese. Willow was named “the magic cat” due to a marking on his nose, a detail Miles Mathis connects to Harry Potter, a figure he dislikes. He then introduces Rowan, Willow’s mother, described as an “accidental Ragdoll” whose lineage also contained Siamese genes. Rowan and her mother produced many kittens that Miles Mathis rehomed in Taos, emphasizing that they were “natural kittens” (not vaccinated or fixed) and found good homes, avoiding dog baiters, snake owners, pet shops, or shelters. After several litters, Rowan disappeared, leading Miles Mathis to suspect she was either stolen or taken by coyotes. He recounts how Rowan’s mother was hit by a car during a visit to his parents, attributing it to a negligent cat sitter. The narrative then shifts to Holly Hopper, found at Cid’s market after Miles Mathis split with Bonnie. Holly Hopper displayed no fear and quickly adapted to his home. He describes keeping kittens with their mothers for an extended period for their well-being. He then elaborates on Pushkin, who is nursing Clover’s nephew and has her own litter of black and white kittens hidden under the bed. He recalls finding Clover and Pushkin as abandoned kittens on the side of the road in Taos while bicycling. The text also introduces Buddy, Willow’s nephew, who was driven off by Willow due to fighting as intact males and later returned. Finally, Miles Mathis details the life of Ashe, an older fixed male rescued with Bonnie in Taos in 2010 after Bonnie’s black cat Jet was hit by a car. Ashe became a “huge cuddlebug” and preferred Miles Mathis. However, Ashe developed severe allergies in California, which Miles Mathis believes were exacerbated by vaccines. Ashe also experienced dental issues and eventually stopped eating, dying two days prior to the writing, which Miles Mathis views as the end of an era. The author concludes by mentioning that bikes will be the next topic.
