Piglet had been asking if she could have a pet. She's an only piglet and 9 now, this seemed like a good age for her to have a fellow creature she could help take care of. I used to have tropical fish. I really loved them but I realise they are not that good company. (Mine did used to kiss me if I trailed my fingers on the water during feeding time, mind.)
I decided on a cat. I wanted to avoid a kitten, as I thought they would be Trouble with a capital wee and poo. I had heard that cat shelters are often stuck with unmarried mother cats; they can move the cute kittens along but the mothers hang sadly around. Being unmarried myself I thought I should help another Fallen Woman. Ever since I was a kitten, I have loved this salutary poem by Thomas Gray, subtly warning us gurrls about the lure of false promises in allegorical form (wink): Ode on the Death of a Favourite Cat, Drowned in a Tub of Goldfish and I was reminded of it when thinking about taking in a Fallen Kitty Cat. It was all very noble and Victorian and prurient <snerk>.
Along came Lakhi (pronounced 'Lucky'). We rechristened her cuz she was called something unbelievably boring. Piglet suggested 'Lucky' and in an unfortunate fit of inspiration, I altered the spelling to the name of the naughty youngest sister in Gurinder Chadar's delightful Bride and Prejudice. I would live to regret it! :rolleyes:

"Do I look fat in this pregnancy?" |
In my defence, I did receive Lakhi via a long chain of reputable professional people. I asked if she had been spayed and was assured - in txt spk, that she had been wormed, immunised and spayed. In fact so astute was the former owner of Lakhi at lying that she came with the instructions 'she has been immunised, you should take her for a booster in about a month'. So of course I thought we would wait till then and register her with the vet's while getting her boosted.
But, but, but. Meanwhile, the little slag started behaving in a manner no spayed cat ought to behave! She lay writhing on the floor chirruping to us. She stuck her bottom in our faces. And one fatal day - when I had to go out all day to teach - she managed to get out the house and disappeared on a two day bender. Piglet and I wept and went round the lanes shaking her bowl and calling: "Lakhi! Chicken!" (not that I buy chicken and cook it specially for her, of course :rolleyes:). Then just as I was about to print off expensive posters at the library and stick them all over lampposts in the area in case some passing dog recognised her, she shot in the back door - all skinny malink, shagged out and having lost her pink diamante collar. (That collar came with her - honest.)
I took her to the vet straightaway! and even he said she was not behaving like a spayed cat, and she didn't even stick her bottom in his face. (Perhaps we should be flattered.) He said he couldn't be sure as yet, we should wait a while and so we did ... and here we are.
Too late I have realised that when you get a kitty cat, you better ask for a certificate showing she has been immunised and documentation from the vets who operated, assuring you that if there are any signs of bulges, you will be able to sue the white coat off them. You should not go, "OMG! she is so cute! What a lovely kitty cat, and I am gonna believe every word you say cuz I cannot believe a MILF would lie to another MILF, particularly since that MILF is only asking about the spaying in a general way. I would be perfectly willing to pay for a cat to be spayed if I were told it had not been done." Cuz somewhere along the line, some woman who does not deserve the title MILF, will lie through her laser whitened teeth in order to make sure you take her little slut of a feline off her hands.


So here I am now, going round the house hurriedly trying to identify suitable spots for the maternity suite. (No! not under my bed. It will be very annoying for me and besides, that is where I store my ballgowns. You cannot be having kittens on my ballgowns, Miss Thing.)
We went yesterday to the vet's for a checkover. They say that Lakhi is very healthy and will pop the little bastards in about two weeks time. And here is an expensive worm tablet for her and do call us in if there are any problems, it will be very expensive but you would not want to risk your unusually small kitty cat if it really was that very large white tomcat who seduced the innocent darling and it is his kittens who are making that unusually big bulge in her tummy.
To be continued ...

Glad to see mama kitty and mama are doing well, even if this all happened because one of them is a little slut. No no, not you. *hugs* But do promise that if you don't keep the kittens, that they go to a no-kill shelter.
ReplyDeleteLOL, luckily the long chain of professionals who supplied me with Lakhi are true MILFs. They are all stricken with guilt at pushing off some whore of Catylon on me and are busy looking for homes for the kittens. I can just sit back and paint my toenails while the cat gives birth and the Swiss Army wife network sorts out all my troubles (:rolleyes:, if only).
DeleteI am not, of course, a *little* slut ;)
