Riley's Art Book/Journal

There's week old kittens crying in my closet

Okay, reading the title you're probably like, 'What the bloody hell, Riley.' Or something.

Let me explain.

Ten weeks ago, my cat, Callie, got pregnant.

She gave birth to them a week ago.
They were orginally staying in my dad's closet with a baby gate.

The kittens where getting too cold, and the baby gate was annoying Callie.

So, today, she decided to move them

to my closet.

I put her bowls, liter box, and water all in my room, and she brought up the four kittens (well three, because she already brought one to my room, and that's how I woke up).

Once she moved three of them, there was one left (no dip Sherlock). She moved that one to a drawer in my closet while the others where in the corner of my closet.

She left them not to long ago, and the one alone in the closet keeps crying.

One, because it's alone.
Two, it can't see.
And three, it cannot make body heat. Which means without its siblings and mother, it is extremely cold.

Now, my mom said the reason she did this was probably because the one alone is sick. She may not be sick, like dying sick, but just a cold of some sort.

My mom told me not to intervene, or else she may decide to move them outside. That would the worst thing.

I also have to make sure my dog doesn't try to come in here. She wants to play with them, but since she is so big, she can't.

Currently, I have to listen to music so I don't have to hear the baby crying.

Update: The cats are now all in the drawer together. Callie figured out that you cannot feed the cats at the same time in two different locations. I don't think the baby was sick, it was just that Callie decided to move locations. The three other kittens were asleep; she did not want to disturb them.

Hope you enjoyed your little story.
