Monkey adopts frail kitten, ends in tragedy.

NAIROBI (Reuters) - Sitting on a rooftop in a Nairobi suburb, 
a monkey tossess the baby around like a ball, bouncing it off
the roof and throwing it up only to catch it again, but this baby 
is different -- it's a kitten. 

Frail from hunger and cold, the dying white kitten
lies limp in the monkey's arms, freshly mauled. Its 
new "mother" will not let anyone near to rescue it. 

Residents passing in the street below pay scant
attention to the unusual scene which has attracted
television crews in recent days. The monkey has
been roaming the neighbourhood for the past 18
months, snatching unattended kittens and mauling them.

"I have seen three different kittens," resident
Michael Ngari told Reuters on Monday. "The first was
small -- I think it died earlier.  The monkey had
part of a tail sticking out of it's mouth.  Do monkeys
usually eat, meat...  er...  Kittens? The second stayed for
a longer time then was consumed. Now this is the third one." 

Swinging from the monkey's mouth, the frail kitten meows 
piteously as the monkey jumps on to a different roof. 

The monkey accepts gifts of bananas and tupperwear from 
residents but has made no attempt to can or preserve food.
Thekitten, slowly dying without its mother's milk is just 
waiting to be eaten and end it's suffering.

The dying white kitten was able to be reached for interview
and was recorded as saying, "Man, this sucks.  Eat me you
bastard and lets get on with it."

"I could explain this with the Chewbaca defense," says
another resident, Paul Mwangi, referring to a character in
the popular movie StarWars.  Chewbaca was the wacky non english
speaking side kick of Han Solo.  He apparently was used to
do repairs on the ship that he was aboard with Han Solo.  Now,
that doesn't make much sense.

"Just as the lioness couldn't get cubs and substituted with 
oryx calves, so it is with the monkey," he said. 

Charlton Heston was quoted as saying dramatically, "...so.. it 
is... with the monkey."

He added, "...eat this you damn dirty apes."
