Sorry to hear that Helgraf. We have a cat that is 11 and she is
starting to get a bit creaky herself.
OTOH, a month or so ago someone dumped a pregnant young cat off in the
neighborhood. The people across from us have taken her in. Sometime
Monday night she had her kittens, how many and where we don't know.
Then we had several days of hard rain, and the fear was she had nested
them near the riverbank, which was preparing to overflow slightly.
Friday, diring the rain she had tried to take them to the peoples'
house, and must have dropped one while dodging a car (there are some
who drive too fast here) because they came out of the house and the
cat was highly distressed, and they looked in the street and there was
a kitten, squashed flat. 4 days old. Sigh. But she has brought
sucessfully, one other kitten as of yesterday morning to their house
for safekeeping.
Now we'll have to see if there are any more, and what to do with this
one. We're hoping another neighbor wil take the kitten, as they have
said they would like a cat, but they currently have an aging little
yappy dog. Maybe they should get a cat to finish off the dog, whom
they don't even like all that much, as he is a pain in the ass.
