We had 4 cats when this all started. We seem to have gained a few more in the past couple of weeks.
If we weren’t ‘crazy cat people’ before, we will be. Soon, I imagine.
There was a stray cat that we’ve been feeding for the past two years. We named him Todd. Well, we recently discovered that Todd is female, and she was pregnant. We didn’t see her for awhile, until a couple of weeks ago. She brought all 4 of her kittens to our front porch, one at a time. We just stood there, and watched her bring them to us, and wondered how many of them she had.
When she was finished hauling her kittens, she just stood there, looked at us, and then looked at the kittens, then looked back to us. She gave a really sad ‘Meooooowooow’, like she didn’t know what she was going to do.
She was really pathetic. It worked.
We took pity on her, and brought them all in, kept them in the bathroom, away from our other cats, and took them to our vet the next day. She had a test to see if she had Feline Leukemia, and she was negative.
So, our vet checked her out, checked the kittens out (2 male, 2 female), gave her shots, wormed her, wormed the kittens, set us up with plenty of Science Diet Kitten Food, a date for her to be spayed (June 2nd), and now we’ve got 9 cats. They all live inside with us, our two dogs, our two ratties, and our 5 birds.
We’ve named them Ronon, Carson, Emma, and Teyla.
It’s a good thing our house isn’t exactly small.
Deity help me.
