Droger hopes that someone remembers what it feels like to be the last one chosen for the ball team.  The alert, hopeful, eight-week-old tabby is the tiny leftover.  Droger doesn’t know where his littermates went.  He only knows that other kittens relegated to the shelter came with sisters or brothers.  They aren’t as alone as he is.

Maybe that’s why Droger watches visitors so intently.  He toddles as close as he can get to the people.  Droger would meow to them, to attract attention, but he knows that his voice is very little, nearly useless, just like he feels.

The last ones chosen are the most grateful to be included.  Droger would never forget being unwanted and alone.  He’d never forget to show his love.
