Sunshine and smiles, Hivers! It's been a while since I posted a new blog on this platform. Since I have time to make a blog, I'm going to share with you now how my cat gave birth to healthy and very cute kittens. Let's get started!
This blog was very special because I wanted to share with you my journey on how I took care of my cat, "Wibble," when she was pregnant. I was very delicate with Wibble because the last time that my other cat, "Yammy," had a pregnancy, it was very bad since she had a miscarriage, and also, she gave birth to a premature kitten, causing me to be alerted and very anxious about my cats. I really monitored and gave all the needs to Wibble on her pregnancy journey. I was traumatized by how Yammy had a bad pregnancy journey because I didn't keep an eye on her, and maybe because she was very stressed by the environment, including my dog, that's why all of her kittens died and she had a miscarriage. I was planning to have them neutered because I cannot afford to raise plenty of kittens. I'm just a student; I am as broke as broke, and my mother is the one who keeps buying them treats and food, and if I had a big payout from this platform, I would also buy them some cat essentials and food. Neuter here in our country is very expensive, and I cannot afford it.
During this time, I had a video call from my friends, and I took Wibble to show off at the camera. At that time, my friends showed their pet dog, while I showed my little cat, Wibble. She was still pregnant at this time, and maybe anytime, she will have her kittens. I didn't show Bambi, my dog, to the camera because she was very heavy and she's sleeping in her cage. Also, I still keep Wibble away from Bambi since Bambi keeps barking at my cat, making my cat stressed.
As you can see in the picture, that time, Wibble had her 2 kittens. In the morning, I was thinking that she was going to give birth because she kept tailing me and kept meowing. That's the cue that my cat will give birth, and they wanted me to be at their side, but I have a class on that day. I just put her in the room and readied the bed so that's the place she will have her kittens. When I went home, I saw that Wibble had the kittens already. When I checked it, she only had 2 kittens; they are male and female cats. I was very happy that all of them didn't die, and they are very healthy. I just leave Wibble at the place where she gave birth because I don't want to distract them, and also, I don't want to transfer her kittens to another place because that's the reason why Yammy's kitten died. Every time, I kept looking to her kittens and checking if they were still alive, and I didn't touch her kittens because some say that if you touch the kitten, the scent of the mother cat from the baby cat will be gone, and it may have the tendency that the mother cat will not recognize her kittens.
When they are weeks old, I touch them and then smell their scent. Their scent was very addictive, even though the smell is not good. I don't know why it was very addictive; the majority of the kittens had this very addictive smell. Even my adult cats have this addictive smell that sometimes I cannot control being overwhelmed by. I will stop if they keep meowing, or they will jump off my hands.
Here's the male kitten who was sleeping beside me; he looks like a drunk uncle. He was sleeping even though his position was very weird. He's very cute while sleeping, causing me to get him and kiss him nonstop. Sometimes, he was distracted by her mother or Yammy, my tabby cat. When they would lick or groom him while he was sleeping.
As you can see in the picture, even in every place, he keeps sleeping and doesn't bother the environment. Wibble wants to hug him while sleeping, and I think he's the favorite one of Wibble. Sometimes he will sleep in a straight sleeping position, and sometimes he will sleep like a drunk uncle. I haven't taken a picture of his sibling since his sibling is a crybaby. When I hold her, she keeps meowing and crying, and Wibble is getting alerted, causing it to transfer her babies. This cute little boy kitten is very quiet and very calm. He was fond of kisses and also sleeping beside me. I think I'm going to have separation issues with this kitten since I made a bond with them.
As you can see in the picture, this time they already know how to groom themselves. It was very early to learn to groom themselves since they are still weeks old, and also, their mother is the one who grooms them, and sometimes Yammy will also do the grooming. Maybe they are learning it while they are still growing. Her sister kept grooming him while he was eager to walk around the house.
And that's the end of my blog, Hivers! Having a cat in the house is very funny and not boring and if you may think that cats are very dirty, you are wrong! They are clean but not very clean and they still smell good because they keep grooming their bodies. I really love my cats; they are the ones who cheer me up and make me relax while I'm having a hard time in school. They become my companion in my everyday life and make me feel motivated. Someday these kittens will be open for rehoming because I cannot afford to raise four cats. Maybe someday, I can afford it when I have stable work with a good salary.
Thank you for reading and supporting my blog, Hivers! Your support really means a lot to me. See you in my next blog! Ciao!
