The Screaming Cat

Today when I was sleeping, I heard a cat screaming super loud and I woke up. I asked myself “why is the cat screaming so loud today”, then I asked my Dad and my Dad said “because the cat wants to go to the blue room”. I said “the cat always goes to the blue room, but why not today”. Then my Dad said “because the cat wanted to give a birth. If we let it in there, the cat would have problem, because we wanted to go to the shop and the cat wanted to find food and the baby kittens would die”. Oow I said. My Dad did not know that I already made a house for the kitty.

Hearing the cat screaming, I remember a book that I always read, The encyclopedia of cats. I like the book, because I like cats. So, I have read the book. It is very interesting. There are a lot of stories about cats in the world. After reading the book, I know that cats like and need a dark place and not very crowded, because the baby kittens do not like to see the light and the sun.

So I want to make a very dark place for the cat like a small house and when the baby kittens born. I don’t know yet how many kittens there will be. May be 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or maybe more. So I have to make a small place then when I know how many baby kitties are, then I will make a big house, made of box. If there are 5 kitties, I will be so happy and I will put the house under the big tree or somewhere else, because when it rains, they will be wet. Cats and kittens do not like the wet places.

Do you have experience with cats? If your cat screams a lot, what should you do? Nothing? If I were you, I would let the cat come in side for a minute, then I let it goes out. If not the cat will scream and scream, even super loud and wont like you anymore. The screaming cat at my home this morning, I think that the cat would give a birth in the big box I have made for her.

Now I will tell you some important things that you need to know when you get a new baby kitten. The first thing you need to know is when a baby cat is born, don’t touch it first, because when you touch a cat that’s still a baby, the mommy kitties thinks that the baby does not belong to her and then the mommy will fight with the new born baby, and the baby will die. The mommy will think that someone steals her baby and the cat will be sad. The next thing you need to know that, don’t take the new born baby bath, because the baby cat is already took a bath with its own Mommy. And another thing is the Mommy cat will protect the baby kitties until they grow up. When you want to hold the baby kitties, the Mommy will scratch you. You must be careful.
