What to expect when your cat has kittens

So, I was laying in the bed one night with both my calico cat and my black and white cat watching tv and I just happened to pick up the calico and my hand touched her belly. I thought she has gotten a little bit of a belly, and my first thought was that maybe she was pregnant. I also happened to see her nipples and I thought they looked different which increased my suspicion of her being pregnant. I got busy with something else and just dismissed the thought. When the thought came back to mind, I was like no she’s not pregnant. I remember even mentioning to some of my friends that I thought my Calico cat was Pregnant. They kind of dismissed the idea too. I even told my parents of my suspicions that Olive, my female cat was pregnant. My mom was like no, she’s not pregnant. So basically, everyone including myself thought I was overreacting or worrying to much or whatever you want to call it. This one night I was reading in bed and Olive came over and I was petting her and everything and she just felt even more different and the next day when I was leaving for my workout and to run some errands, I noticed she was laying in one of the cat crates. At that time, I kept the cat crates kind of open and around in the apartment just in case I needed to separate the cats, and I would put towels and bed sheets in the carrying crates to make it a more comfortable environment for the cats. When I saw that she was in the carrying crate and looked very comfortable a part of me did think. She is going to have those kittens today, but I also dismissed the idea because I still had no confirmation that she was pregnant.

After the gym that day I went to run a few errands and then went back to my apartment. I got there and unlocked the door and walked in the there was blood on the floor. I was kind of in shock and was thinking ok what happened here and that is when I started hearing these small little meows and then I saw when baby kitten on the floor struggling and meowing,

then I looked where I heard the other baby meows which was in that little carrier that I saw Olive in earlier that morning and sure enough she was laying in the carrier nursing three baby kittens. I stepped out so that I could gather my thoughts then went back in and started texting friends. I texted tony saying my cat had kittens. What the, he replied back. There was actually another word behind the and it rhymes with well. I was texting all of my friends that knew something about cats anything. One of them said something that did make sense. She said the “reason there is one outside of the cat carrier is because that one is the runt there is something going on with it that mama doesn’t like. put it in the carrier with the mother. That is what I did, and it worked, the kitten became a very healthy kitten beautiful kitten. It is advised not to touch the kittens unless you just really have too, but if one of them is alone kind of alone like I found this one pick it up and put it in a carrier with its mother and siblings that is probably it’s best chance for survival, really, I think it’s the kittens only chance for survival. Be sure to let the momma cat out of her carrier every once in a while, so she can walk around and stretch her legs. Don’t be surprised if one of those times that she is out of the carrier and walking around and stretching her legs, if she brings her kittens to you and is looking up at you giving you this look like help me. It is because she is feeling overwhelmed. If she gives you some type of look like that or you suspect that the momma cat is feeling overwhelmed, you can help her out by getting some kitten formula and putting it in a kitten bottle and helping the momma cat out by bottle feeding the kittens. Just in case if you have a female cat and you suspect she is pregnant it would be a good idea to stock up on kitten formula and have at least one kitten bottle in the house just in case the momma cat is pregnant, and it does come to you having to bottle feed the kittens.

Something that I have been struggling with here recently that I wanted to touch on today is when to know when it is time to do, I guess what you would call it now is a Facebook cleanup. I guess a better way of referring to this would be to move on and let go of the past. I guess I thought that I had done that back in 2017. Just a bunch of people that I knew from this town that I went to college in were texting messaging me about stupid stuff that didn’t make any sense you know the high school nonsense that they do when you first get to college sometimes your whole college experience. I didn’t have time to deal with that at the time I so much stuff going on or maybe I didn’t have so much stuff going on it just felt like I had a lot going on. I just deleted them and everyone that I thought might be associated with them from my Facebook account, but I left two people because I knew they were good people. Did they know what was going on? Probably. Usually if you’re wondering if someone knows a certain piece of information they usually do. But you’re probably asking well what is it that they know? That is a very good question there was an incident that happened, but it was like 8 years ago and the year that I was getting these text messages was 2017. I mean I had been living in a new city basically sense 2011 so why now

I mean I don’t understand why they were even texting me all of that nonsense in the first place. The incident that happened was basically long story short someone wanted me to do something, it was someone I knew and had hung out with I guess you could say frequently. At first it was just here and there and then for a little while it was all the time. Then all of a sudden it was just kind of here and there again, and it was getting to where it wasn’t as often as it was, then it was not at all for a while. Then, this particular individual decides to show back up again and ask me to do something. Well, I knew a few things about this particular individual. I knew about this particular individual’s trouble that this person had managed to get into. And apparently there was an incident that happened where this particular individual managed to get into another round of trouble. From the information that I know about this particular event it seemed to have happened when I was out of town on a holiday or something, because I hadn’t been back in town long when I heard about that round of trouble that this particular individual managed to get into. This second round of trouble that this particular individual managed to get into, this person probably didn’t think I knew anything about that. I was out one night with friends and that particular individual showed up and then asked this of me I was just so shocked I just walked away and went on with my night with friends danced with a few of the ladies. Well, that was when I noticed that Monday at work coworkers were being more hostile or something I even noticed things when I was out about in town. I mean it was a small college town so it could happen stuff can get spread around in those places as easily as it could a small town.

Probably depend ending on the click or what click the person that you are having problems with is in. It was pretty clear from the way people were acting towards me after that that this particular individual was in a click. It was pretty clear to me they had nothing better to do with their time. Oh, it gets even better than that see one of the people that was texting me all of that off the wall crap that made absolutely no sense whatsoever was actually a teacher at the local community college. Yeah, doesn’t that tell you something. I mean I always kind of suspected that he was two faced but that just confirmed everything.

The reason I bring this up is because I was taking a good look at everything that I had accomplished but I was wondering well why this hasn’t happened yet. then I was like oh it is because I have still got two people from my past on my Facebook account and that was a part of my passed where I was a little bit confused, and it was kind of semi dark. But they weren’t the ones that were making it dark in fact if anything they were the ones that were for the most part the most positive and had a good head on their shoulders. I think maybe that is where I got confused. I didn’t know if this was the right approach to delete them from my Facebook account, but I thought let me try this and see what happens. I just kind of felt like well nothing else has worked and I don’t really talk to those two anymore so what have I really got to lose?

Things got really weird between me and both of them a few years ago and although I have talked with one of them here and there, I just feel like to try to talk with them would be weird and none of us these days I don’t think really have time to really get online and chat. Also, both of these friends have kids now, so they are dealing with raising kids and just life in general. I don’t know about everyone else but these days I keep in touch with family and friends by text message, and so much time has passed that I don’t even have their cell phone numbers anymore. Getting back to the thing that I wanted to happen I guess you could call it a career accomplishment, but the deal was it hadn’t happened yet, and I felt like well I let go of and deleted from Facebook everyone I knew from that time of my life maybe I need to delete these two individuals too. I was just sort of thinking the fact that I deleted everyone else from that negative time period from my Facebook had pretty much stopped with the stupid childish text messages and my life actually improved a lot after that. It looked like I had pretty much moved on after that. Well, the day that I was reflecting on everything, I was like well I still haven’t accomplished this one thing and had I really moved on if those two were still on my Facebook. I decided to just do it. I mean because of the fact that we don’t really talk anymore anyway basically means they are probably not going to notice for a very long time. The whole reason that I even thought of this anyway is because it was 2017 when the whole deleting of all of those shallow people from my Facebook so that means this happened before the whole Covid 19 thing. I noticed before the whole covid 19 thing. Before that happened and things were going really good for me things were going really good for me, and I think it is because I cut ties with all of those negative people. Whether or not those two people who I have previously cut ties with knew anything about that thing that was going on I really don’t know, but I knew for a fact that they had connections from a previous group of friends that they use to hang out with. that is why I just thought you know what I have moved on and so have they and I just feel like in order for me to progress and do better I need to cut ties with these two as well just because I don’t have enough information, and it is about getting away from the negativity that certain seem to love to promote.
