Wow, TT -- you're a dick and an idiot. How do Brits (I assume you're a Brit, because to my knowledge, no one else uses the word Yank to describe all Americans) get off telling people how to spell an animal that ISN'T NATIVE TO ENGLAND.

Kittens are made of rubber. They can survive the most shocking things, and not seem to notice. Gently brushing one aside when its in the way is nothing at all. Momma cats routinely pick their kittens up by any part they can get their mouth around, and frequently drop them as they're carried. I've seen a cat carry a kitten up a flight of stairs by its EAR, only to drop it on the last step, where it then rolled back down until I caught it. Again, kitten was just fine. Didn't even cry.
