Golly, how do I explain this? Someone who really loves cats is always semi pregmant. *Some* of the *many* reasons for these 'phantom' pregmancies is because we either need a cat in every colour, or we need to save a life or we need a long-hair / short hair / psycho / ran-into-a-putco-bus-face / surprise (sad/squint/blue)-eyes / short-crooked-or-no tail / lemme-see-if-I-can-tame-it / have-you-ever-seen-anything-this-cute-in-your-life / *add your own reason here* cat.
I'm ALWAYS semi pregmant (aka willing to adopt another little cherub < multiply the 'another little cherub' by X). The (awesome) company that I work for has merged with another (awesome) company and we've moved into (awesome) new offices. My feral colony lives behind our previous office block and its a huge schlepp to travel from the new office via the old office and then home. The property owners (where my colony resides) promised feed and water my kitties during the week and I will resume the position of "butler/doctor/mom" every weekend to sort out whatever needs sorting, medicating and spoiling... May I remind you at this point that I pride myself in the fact that my entire colony is sterilised.
Two weeks in the new offices and irregular visits to my colony during the weekdays (because I don't necessarily trust many people and ultimately, the colony's health and existence is my responsibility), I suddenly have two long hair kittens - no older than between 6-8 weeks. Its hard to tell a feral kitten's age because of malnutrition.
I arrive home to my tamed feral, Jemima (Mau-Mau, Moo) and my dumpster-hand-reared, Gremms (Niss (short for Naughtiness) or 'the-little-one') and declare: Mama's pregmant... Two LONG haired cherubs need a loving home. They're a little wild but young enough to tame. And cute as a bag of monkeys :)
Anyone willing to adopt one or two feral kittens?
