Hello, Kittie Frirends.
This is a serious inquiry: a few weeks ago, Brendan my resident grandson and helper in all things requiring height and strength brought home a very skinny, very hungry white cat with black spots. She is spunky and hisses at my three cats. Fine. She had nipples, so I surmised that there had been kittens in the near past, I made an appointment with my Humane Society for a checkup and a spaying procedure. This week, Natasha, as I call her, has gained some weight. I feed her well and pet her a lot, but that round belly feels like a soon-to-have-kitten belly. Her appointment is in two weeks.
Should I let her have this litter? She is a beautiful cat, the shape of an Egyptian Mau, ( and the attitude) but with dramatic white and black fur. The kitten could be just beautiful.
But... I am handicapped, getting worse all the time, and would be a danger to kittens running around. I could have the kittens aborted when she gets spayed, but my heart says no.
Any comments?
