One of the animal activists, Debbie , was struck by the thinness and weakness of the mother cat. The poor thing suffered from fleas and limped. As it turned out later, the cat injured its paw in a fight with an unknown animal.

The fluffy mother-heroine steadfastly endured her calamities. Her kittens were shiny with satiety and grooming, and she herself was so tired that she almost fell off her feet.
