Trixter of the Moon CouncilIt’s #caturday and I accidentally a foster pregnant cat
(The crate is just until she gets settled from the trip, she’ll have the run of the cat room but I’m trying to give her the idea that that’s the baby-having spot.)
New Mama was brought to the rescue as a stray, and I know she’s all hormonal but I get the feeling she’s more sassy than spicy. She let me pet her but she gave me A Look about it.
Mamacat looks to be close to having her kittens and I am extremely squeamish about pregnancy and childbirth and the only pregnant foster I’ve had took care of everything by herself while I was at work one day so thoughts and prayers 😭
I need to decide on a name for this mamacat and since the kittens are going to be heading for a cat cafe that’s part of a bookstore I was thinking this could be my chance to name her Lady Jessica and give the kittens Dune names but if she has more than like 2 girls I’m fucked
Look I just want a baby kitten named Duncan Idaho
Edit: It has been handled, thank you!
Hey Fedi-buddies, I have a quick #MutualAid ask for this cat situation:
The rescue is being really generous about buying me food right now because they know money's tight, but I could really use a new kitten room camera if I'm dealing with a pregnant mama. My old one, a super-basic Yi model, has been enshittified into being barely usable, and I'm sitting here at work frustrated that I can't look back at what was going on with her an hour ago because I'm concerned about something, and... ugh.
I've got one wishlisted on Amazon that should ship quick. Y'all have been amazing. 💙

Mamacat Status: Still baking. The kittens (and maybe her, depending on temperament) are going to be at a cat cafe that’s part of a bookshop so I think I’ll do some classic author names for this batch. So here is Mary Shelley.

@gavi I’m sitting here at work squinting between banner ads at something that’s probably a toy she dragged into the crate but could be blood and a stillbirth and I just cannot with this current camera.

Doctor D@trixter how's kitten watch going? I'm emotionally invested in mama cat's pregnancy and @NickGates colonoscopy results. This is my life now.
We Are All Minnesota@NickGates @ratvet Is this just a routine one, or were they checking something? I have ulcerative colitis so I’ve been there a bunch of times.
@NickGates @ratvet It’s been kind of fun watching all my friends age into regular screenings after I’ve been dealing with it every couple years for the last 20-ish. Like, welcome to the club!
@trixter @NickGates @ratvet
Damn, I gotta go get mine as soon as the moving/kitten retrieval trip are finished. I'm 47 and overdue for it.

@ratvet @NickGates The buns are still in the oven! Also the people who were feeding her said she was “semi-feral” and I would like to politely disagree.
