A Camera in the Rescue Room

Snow covers the town square. Inside the animal rescue center, a mother cat and her young kittens rest on a soft bed. The kittens are too young to eat solid food. Their mother's body feels warm.

A quiet camera records the family for two days. Workers write what they see in a chart. They do not move the kittens or make them cry. Read each row from left to right. It shows what happens in order.
