    I took a big responsibility today. And I have no idea if I should be proud or not.

  • 02

    I was out working in my garage this morning. cleaning, Experimenting, normal spring cleaning. I had my music playing quite loud. And I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings.

  • 03

    When my music paused I went over to my speaker to fix it. Then I felt a thing brush against my legs. I got spooked and turned around to find a cat.

  • Ah the good old cat distribution system at work. You can just be living your life going about your daily deals, and then BAM. out of nowhere, you have a cat. Did you want it? Possibly. Did you need it? Very possibly. Did you expect to have your world turned upside down without anyone asking you? Most certainly not. But here you are with a bundle of fluffy joy, so why complain?

    No tag, no collar, and dirty enough to look like it was abandoned for a month. But it was surprisingly friendly, brushing on my legs, playing with my shoe string.

  • 05

    I was concerned about how bad it looked so I took the cat inside. Placed the cat on my couch and let it do it's thing. Immediately it started purring, Then it just sat on my lap.

    I was happy to see a cat this friendly. But I needed to see if it was a stray, or a missing cat. Took a picture and posted it for my surrounding area.

    No one replied, other than the "aww she looks so cute!" And they kept saying she so I assumed it was a girl.

    Then I felt a kick, a big one too. I look at her belly and had seen that she was in fact pregnant. I knew i couldn't just take her to a shelter, so I'm keeping her with me for now.

  • It is a relatively well known fact, that sometimes the Cat Distribution System knows that you are in need of more than one cat, and so they send multiple. Though those cats are usually independent. It seems that in this case the CDS might not have had any independent cats roaming the area and so opted for the try now get surprised later method instead.

     I took her to the vet just minutes after I posted this. She is rabies free, but not babies free. No microchip was found either. They said that she has to be at least a year or two old because of how small she is. So now I feel bad for her.

     Her new name is Ariel. As in the Disney princess because she has a weird thing going on with our feet. She sniffed them for a solid minute and did nothing else. That and she loves shoe laces so now I gotta hide any sort of string now.

  • 12

    Update So just hours ago I have taken in a stray cat whom I now call Ariel. She is pregnant and expecting soon.

  • 13

    Whilst I was running around and tidying up all of my stuff that could harm the cat. I found a sad discovery. I found a d. d cat in my garage. And as soon as I opened the door to my house, Ariel came running in and straight to the body.

  • 14

    He was skinny to where his ribs were showing greatly. She hovered over for a solid 10 minutes. Then she just walked away.

  • 15

    I am about to bury the body in the backyard. But I would let Ariel get the last few minutes with her lover.

    Since I have to add more words let's feed you all in on how Ariel is doing. That c head is CRAZY, She has been playing with my shoelaces and finding the best spot to observe the outside and inside all at once.

    She has gotten both dry and wet food and a good amount of water, thanks to my grandma for giving me her cats old dry food gravity feeder

    Now I don't know how many kittens she will have and I'm going to leave it as so and go in blind. My roommates love her and want to keep her also.

    Will I keep all the kittens? I'm not sure because it depends if it's a big litter.
