At the beginning of this month, May 2nd, my cat gave birth to three teeny weeny cute kittens.
Funny thing is, everyone in my household including my cousin who was visiting knew that the cat was heavily pregnant. Me, I could see it. How now? The little kitten I got less than a year ago is pregnant? No way! Perhaps like all mothers, the little girl is still a little girl even when she flies from the nest.
Shock on me and my denial mode when the househelp found the cat Meeeeooowing endlessly in my daughter's drawer that morning. I thought it's her (the cat's) usual love of curling up warmly but then, I noticed her stomach was really enlarged and decided to take precaution.
I went to the outdoor store and made a 'birthing station' using an old pillow. Still in denial, I thought the cat probably wanted some cheese, which she loves, and I had exhausted my cheese slices. I went on with my day as usual ignoring the whining cat and even took a nap.
At around 2pm,my daughter woke me up with excitement that the cat had given birth and that we needed to call daddy and inform him. She was bubbling and restless. I went out to check and true, there lay the cutest sight ever! My usually playful cat looked subdued and are those the kittens? they were so tiny, they still are I'm afraid to touch them incase I hurt them

Previously, I was just tolerant of having an animal but now, I'm a new covert. I'm a pet and animal lover, overnight! (notice how it's MY cat, MY kittens).
Having a child, human or animal, makes you and those around feel special. I am a living testimony to that!
As a practicing christian, a new birth is one of the foremost doctrines. It is a glorious miracle that is given unto us. It signifies transformation and brings about new priorities.
... behold the new has come ...
As wooo wooo as this sounds, my cat giving birth was a very spiritual time for me. heck! I even went into gratitude and meditation.
Yours truly, new grand ma :)
