A couple of years ago I had a bit of a run in with an old dear who was continually breeding her female cats and just giving the kittens to anyone. I went round, had a nice chat with her to try and pursuade her to get her kitties spayed, only to be told to get off her premises
Anyway, a few weeks ago, the guy in the pet shop informed me she'd got some kittens again
I took her number and phoned pretending I'd recently lost one of mine and I was looking for a couple
She didn't recognise from my pep talk a couple of years ago, so I bought the kittens and had another little chat but not so heavy handed this time
One of the cats was pregnant again so I asked if she wanted to part with her, as I knew someone who would love a tabby
She said she'd have to have a chat with her granddaughter and would let me know. I told her I would take any kittens she had as I knew lots of peeps wanting them so to let me know when she dropped and have a think about parting with her. Miracles of miracles happened today when she rang me to tell me she had 2 kittens I may be interested in, she'd already given 2 away to 2 high school girls but thought I'd like the other two. Anyway, cutting a long story short, her other cat is now heavily pregnant
but I've told her not to give any of the kittens away as I will take them. She also said she thought it was time to have her spayed as she was getting old now, had had a few litters and she was sick of the tom cats hanging round, I've said when the kittens are weaned, we'll get her in and it won't cost her a bean
Also had another chat about the tabby whose 2 kittens I've just brought home and she is still undecided but has agreed that I can get her spayed in 2 weeks and then she'll decide
I can't believe the old bat that I'd had a run in with has finally come to her senses........what a result
