That's what I thought. But I was wrong. That Momma is a "criminal". Prof Google told me that a mother cat should be with her newborn kittens almost all the time.
But that Momma Cat left the newborn kittens for too long. I saw that Momma with a male cat. They were in my verandah. Yesterday, I checked my verandah several times since coming back from the office. They were there! This morning at around 5 AM, I checked it again. That Momma was still there, and so was she at around 5:30 AM!
Last night was quite cold. Poor baby kittens. I think they couldn't survive.
I hate that Momma now. If not because of my Giant, I would have stopped giving her food.
I think the babies are about to be born pretty soon.
I saw that in front of my door this morning my time when I was about leaving for work.
Usually I would check my verandah at around 05:30 AM. I would see the Momma cat siting and waiting for the food in front of my door. But today, I didn't do it on time as I was running a bit late. When I opened the door and put the food, I only saw Meeno. The Momma cat was gone. If she is back, I would make a place for her to deliver her baby kittens..
Not starving any more, I am sure. But diseases? well, could be. I wanted to take Meeno to the Vet. But.. for now I still find that cat scary! My neighbour told me that Meeno is an Angora cat, which was exactly what I thought when first time I saw Meeno.
I think the Momma cat has a place where she feels safer to have her babies, away from Meeno. Besides, Meeno kept "copying" what the Momma cat did in order to get more attention from me. I think Meeno is a smart cat, but a jealous one too.
That cat is a new comer. I saw him first time several days ago. Judging from his appearance, I am sure that cat was a beautiful Pet cat. But because he is getting much older and starts having skin disease, his owner dumped him. I call him "Meeno" because he was a very mean cat.
Meeno kept on trying to fight the momma cat. He wanted to have the food for himself only. The Momma was always scared of Meeno. So I had to give the Momma cat food separately away from Meeno.
Another new comer. But that one was ok. He didn't fight Momma cat.
He waited patiently. And so I gave him the food.
I have to protect the Momma cat. I don't want anything to hurt the unborn kittens.
My Giant asked me to give Meeno the food away from the Momma cat. He also asked me talk to Meeno to be kinder to other cats or he would be kicked out. I am sure I was out of my mind when I did what my Giant told me. Guess what..?? This morning I saw Meeno and the Momma cat a bit closer to each other without fighting. Meeno started leaving the Momma cat alone having the food
Anyway, from the size if her tummy My Giant guess the Momma cat is carrying 6 baby kittens. My guess is 4. How many baby kittens do you think she is carrying? Come on make a guess..
I hear you, Luke, loud and clear. No need to say it twice. Anyway, I still have the cat food I bought last time for Lucky. I put the food every day, before leaving for work and after coming back from work. If not Lucky, then other cats will finish every last crumbs. And then that's it, no more cat food.
Instead of her Mom, my friend did take care of Lucky. The plan was for a week. But something came up. She had to go on an office duty to another City for 3 days (Mon-Wed). Monday morning she took Lucky to the office and returned him to me. She said I could let him go as Lucky's right eye was much better. I took lucky home and let him go.
Maybe not good enough. I told my Giant how I hated myself because I couldn't even touch the cat.. too scared! But like you, my Giant also said good things.. to cheer me up.
Yes, that's what I heard. But my biggest fear is .. what if he gets hit by a car or a motorbike when he crosses the street?
Hi Didi Hmm .. I don't know but I found the feeling of wanting to eat something when you know that you're gonna die in a matter of hours or even minutes mind-boggling.
