It’s #caturday and I accidentally a foster pregnant cat
-
@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!

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.

Damn, I gotta go get mine as soon as the moving/kitten retrieval trip are finished. I'm 47 and overdue for it. -

Gonna start a PolyMarket for when she goes into labor and how many cat beans she’s growing in there.

I have already had to explain to a newer coworker that this is not one of my own cats who I just haven’t spayed, all my permanent residents are spayed and neutered SIR.

Still on Kitten Watch, if anyone was wondering. The rescue got three pregnant cats this month and mine is the only one who still hasn’t given birth. The others had healthy litters and everyone’s doing great. I think it’s gonna be this week though!

Here are the other two with their 0-1 Day Catbeanz. The black and white one had six kittens, the white and orange one had EIGHT. (That’s a lot!)

@trixter Once upon a time I read the theory that mammals had double the number of nipples of a typical litter. 8 is like absolute max capacity. o_o

@triphazard Yeah, 8 is all seats taken at the milk bar.

Honey, you’re gonna have to actually give birth at some point.

@trixter If you're going the literary route, I have to throw the name Tingle out there. Chuck Tingle remains one of my favorite modern authors, and he's equal parts hilarious and heartwarming, as well as writing damned good horror. He'd honestly probably be honored by that.

@cryptica This is the perfect name for a cat and I love it!
-
@cryptica You're so right, and if I ever get a cat, that's gonna be their name. Plus, you have the added bonus of the Goonies reference w/Chunk
🤩
