63. Nice story, gordianot!

We have a Momma Cat, too! Well, my elderly father does. Our Momma was a feral young cat that would hang around my father's feet when he went out on his porch. I was always afraid she would trip him - he had just had a stroke a few months before and was unsteady on his feet. Anyway, I kept telling my dad we needed to catch her and spay her at a minimum - and find a home for her if possible. She would come near our feet but wouldn't let us pet or pick her up. We fed her.

Too much time passed and perhaps there was not enough effort on my part to make it happen (spaying, that is) because not less than a month went by when my dad called me, asking me to visit because he was concerned for the little black cat (she wasn't a Momma Cat yet!). He thought she had a tumor!! "Duh, Well, Dad, she's probably pregnant!" I said. She became the size of a basket ball! That poor little cat birthed 7 kittens! The good news is that in her pregnancy, she welcomed our invitation into his home and she had those kittens under his bed! Long story short, he kept her inside until she was old enough to get spayed and I tell you now she will not step foot into his house! We call her Momma Cat now. I found homes for each and every one of her kittens (one sadly died). She keeps her distance but Dad still feeds her.
