Life's Like That

A white cat gave birth at our house when I was away hiking at Jogja.

She was Siamese-cat-like in look (I do not know the cat species any better) and she gave birth to 4 cute kittens. One grey, one peach coloured & 2 brown. Long haired and fluffy. No. 4 and No. 5 could not stop looking at them.

Well me being the practical person, when I returned home I had called the animal shelter to arrange for deportation. Because I cannot stand cat fur (I get really itchy everywhere) and I know eventually the caretaker will be me, no matter how much the children promise to clean & feed them.

This call was made from the office because I do not want the cats to overhear me.

I was asked to send them over in about a week, as that time the nursery was being disinfected.

Lo and Behold, before the weekend arrived, their mommy had transported them elsewhere. Nowhere to be found. Incidentally I admire cats for their diligence in carrying the kittens in their mouths One by One until they reach the undeclared destination.

They returned a month later and the kittens have grown. Thankfully their mommy's destination this time was my neighbour's house 🙈
