CP has been encouraging her neighbours to practise CNRM. One such neighbour is Mrs Wong. With the aid of one of my cages, Mrs Wong managed to trap this elusive female cat last night, so CP helped bring the cat to our panel vet this morning.
She didn't want to go in, but the fried fish was just too irresistible.... Eat first, figure out how to escape later.... \ On the way to the vet's, in the car....
She avoided the vet like crazy...
Upon checking, the cat is pregnant. So CP brought her back.
I have noticed from my experience that all pregnant cats will get extremely defensive when they have been unknowingly brought to the vet's with the intention of getting them spayed. They must be defending their unborn babies.
For the information of new readers, we do NOT spay pregnant cats. They are released and allowed to deliver before they are recaptured (after they are done breastfeeding and the kittens are independent) to be spayed later on, usually two months after delivery.
CP and I talked through email and we said we'd have the task of rehoming probably three (or more) new kittens soon when this cat delivers. CP is particularly affected because Mimi (now, adopted by CP) was a stray who had brought three beautiful kittens to CP's house to seek shelter. But soon, one kitten disappeared suddenly and after a big thunderstorm, Mimi lost the other two. Mimi was broken-hearted and kept mewing to CP. I know how heart-breaking that can be. Animals definitely do feel the loss just as humans do. We only think and hope they will soon forget. But we'll never really know, would we?
So, the cat is now released, under the watchful eyes of Mrs Wong and CP.
One step at a time then...
