Did you know that pregnant cats can stop their labor and put it off till another day? I did not know that. But I must be some kind of stupid, considering that I didn't even know that my pregnant cat was pregnant to begin with. Sure, I had my suspicions:
"Pumpkin, what are you and Rita doing under the stairs?"
"Hey Rita, you're getting awfully fat. Must be that new cat food."
"Hey, what's this big wet spot on my bed? It couldn't have been Rita's water breaking, could it?"
"Rita, does your stomach always spasm when I'm petting you?"
And now the vet at Old Capitol Pet Care thinks I am an idiot. I think I'm an idiot, too. Rita is a baby. How could I have let her get knocked up? Now she's a single teenage mother.
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH A PILE OF KITTENS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I'm going to get attached, that's what. To every single one of those kittens. I'll never be able to part with any of them. But I'll have to. Because I can't afford to have a gazillion cats.
These are the people I'll never give a kitten to:
1. My uncle' s children
2. Strangers
