Prologue:

"Sugar, we have to escape tonight." A black and white tom pawed at the lock on his cage.

"I know, Lucky!" A sand colored tabby she-cat wailed, her belly was swollen with kits.

A hairless tom with bulging eyes glanced at them. "I know how to undo the lock." He confessed.

"Really, Frisbee? You can?" Sugar turned to look at him hopefully.

Frisbee nodded. "Stick you claw in the hole and twist it."

Lucky reached out a paw and did as Frisbee instructed. "It works!"

Sugar copied her mate and soon her own cage door opened.

Lucky was about to go but hesitated. "Come with us Frisbee."

Frisbee shook his head. "I can't. No humans would want me for a pet and I would freeze in the wilderness. I am content to be euthanized for the sake of science."

"You've been a good friend." Sugar hopped out of her cage.

Frisbee dipped his head.

"Hey, what about us!" A dark gray tabby tom pressed his face against the bars.

"You can't leave us to die!" A white she-cat whimpered.

Lucky sighed. "We can't leave them." He murmured.

"Well we can't stay here!" Sugar retorted. "Frisbee, show them how to open the lock."

Frisbee opened his mouth but no words came out. "They're coming." He rasped. "You need to get out now."

Sugar's green eyes flew wide with terror. "Come on Lucky!" She darted towards the open window.

Panting with effort, Sugar dragged herself onto the windowsill. The humans always left it open.

"Hurry!" Lucky shoved her.

Sugar gathered herself to spring out the window just as three men appeared.

One of them shouted someone and a sharp pop sounded.

Lucky shrieked in fear than shrank to the ground.

"No!" Sugar yowled in anguish. She tried to lean over and grabbed his scuff but he was too heavy. "I'm so sorry." Sugar whispered. She knew they would put Lucky down for sure tonight.

With one last glance over her shoulder, Sugar scrambled out of the window into the frigid snow and kept running until she reached a lake. The sky was dark with storm clouds and it was getting late.

She curled up in some bushes by the shore with a gasp of pain. The kits were coming!

A few hours later, she had four kits. A white she-kit, a black and white tom, a dark gray tom, and a brown and white she-kit.

Sugar glanced around her. "Snow. . . Night, Storm . . . and Lake." She decided.

"Welcome to the world my precious kits." She whispered softly.

(The place they're at doesn't do animal testing. They just raise cats and then euthanize them so they be dissected by high school and college students)
