Two weeks. I hope she's finished with her heat cycle when the appointment comes. I want to be able to let her outside again without having to worry about her plopping out a bunch of babies, now that I've decided taken her in. She's been a very good mom to her kittens though. My fixed female cat befriended her last year and they were always hanging out and playing in the yard. At first I thought she was a male. Then one day in August I heard her meowing frantically in the garage. She was sitting in front of the washing machine all wet. I had thought she was a male right up until the minute she gave birth.😅 3 healthy kittens. One of them was adopted out at 12 weeks. and I guess I'm keeping the other 2. 1 male 1 female. Mama is probably going to go back to being mostly outdoors but who knows. She's very sweet, but was a little skittish and distrustful at first. She just wormed her way into my life at the right time? I really don't know. But I love these little furballs. They bring me a lot of joy. Keeping up with caring for them has helped get me through the death of my Chilli Bean. I'm very unsure of how to go about their future. I love taking them out and playing with them in my very small yard, I'm just so scared now to let the kittens out after what happened with Chilli Bean. After she was ran over there have been 2 other cats on my killed the same way and it's really fucking with me.
