In the midst of some sweet afternoon

Cassie's still in the bedroom most of the time, but every time I feed her she comes out to greet her public:

( Adoring fanboys )

She was actually rubbing against Spike at first, but I missed getting a picture of that.

And now, kitten pictures! Sorry I missed a couple of days, I had my head up my arse chasing my tail.

( Eight pics under the cut )

The first three - Callette being snuggled and the two after it - are from the 21st (Wednesday) and the rest are from today. Cassie's a bit fed up with the photography and keeps putting herself between the kittens and the camera, but she's happy for me to pick them up now as long as I'm careful. If I let any of their feet dangle they complain and she gets all cross with me.

She ate an entire raw chicken thigh last night - only one small chunk of bone left, too small to even bother giving to the dogs.

Lucky little lady in the city of light?

What the everloving actual fuck...?!

Just had a conversation with Downstairs Neighbour Couple. They told me that Cassie's former owners would like to "have the orange and white kitten if it's a boy".

OK, remember the way Cassie got dumped on me without any forewarning? Those people had my phone number, but they didn't think Cassie's welfare was important enough to speak to me at all before bringing her to the Conservative Club without so much as a cat carrier or a litter tray and leaving her with someone else to pass on to me. It's pure luck that I didn't want her to bait my dogs, sell to a laboratory, feed to a python or make fucking mittens out of, isn't it?

They told me they didn't know she was pregnant. Personally, I don't believe a word of that, I'm convinced they rehomed her solely because they didn't want the bother of kittens - but I suppose it's possible. Again, it's possible to be a responsible owner and have your eight-month-old kitten get unintentionally pregnant - but it's also not a bloody point in your favour.

Lastly and most telling, I was told that Cassie was being rehomed because her owners were moving into sheltered accomodation where pets weren't allowed. So what's changed? Did getting rid of your pregnant cat magically make you twenty years younger? Is it only black and white girl cats that aren't allowed at this "sheltered accomodation", or - tell me if I'm getting warmer - is it just that Cassie wasn't a little fuzzy-wuzzy kitten any more, you can't be arsed with speutering your pets, cats in heat are a nuisance, and if you have a boy cat the accidental pregnancies end up being some other poor sap's problem?

I like Downstairs Neighbour Couple a lot, and they aren't the SPOs in question, so I only touched on the "sheltered accomodation" issue briefly and told them all the kittens were girls (I'm not completely certain about the tabby, in fact, but that's irrelevant). They knew what I was getting at, though.

Cassie's ex-people: FUCK OFF AND DIE. NO KITTEN FOR YOU!
