The Mittens/Kittens Mystery Resolved

From Lindsy: (See Lost Gloves 12/28)

Three little kittens, they lost their mittens,
And they began to cry:
"O mother dear,
We very much fear,
That we have lost our mittens."
Lost your mittens!
You naughty kittens!
Then you shall have no pie.

The three little kittens, they
found their mittens,
And they began to cry:
"O mother dear,
See here, see here!
See! We have found our mittens."
Put on your mittens
You silly kittens,
And you may have some pie.
