Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” ARF cats talked about the pending births of kittens in the ARF kittenry.
Zeus: Do we have kittens yet?
Bear: No. Can you believe it? That mama cat is huge!
Zeus: I am so surprised. She looks as if she’s going to pop right now.
Flora: Are you talking about me? You are correct that I’m huge.
Whiskers: You must be uncomfortable.
Flora: I really am. It’s difficult to move around with a belly that’s almost twice my size.
Whiskers: After this litter, I bet ARF will get you spayed so you won’t go through this again.
Flora: That is such good news. This isn’t my first litter and I’m so happy that a human took responsibility for me and got me into the good hands of ARF.
Pepper: You are in good hands now and your babies will be, too.
Sadie: How is Lulu doing?
Lulu: Are you talking about me? I’m doing just fine, thank you.
Pepper: You’re pretty quiet.
Lulu: I know, but I’m still just getting used to a new home. I was with my human guardian for years until she passed.
Pepper: I’m sorry, Lulu. You appear to be very friendly. You’ve been sitting in quite a few human laps.
Lulu: I have and my doing so has really been helping me to feel right at home.
Flora: But a forever home would be even better, right?
Lulu: That’s for sure.
Bear: But I’m guessing that all of us in the cattery will be here for a bit.
Lulu: Why?
Zeus: With the virus problem, we won’t be getting visitors.
Whiskers: Oh, yeah. These are scary times, but we are safe here.
Flora: And the ARF humans are here several times every day, caring for us and checking to see if I’ve had these babies!
