Pregnant Cat Named 'Kevin,' Has Her Hilarious Tale Told By The Woman Caring For Her
If you're not savvy enough, you may not be able to tell if the cat or kitten you're caring for is a male or female. Don't feel bad, you're not the only one.
When Erin Breean took a stray kitten she had been caring for to the vet, she had no idea what she was getting into. Erin, from Austin, Texas, had been caring from the presumed male cat, which she and her partner, Landon, had named Kevin.
They decided to take Kevin to the vet to see whether he was chipped; however, the visit revealed a little more than they were prepared for. You see, Kevin was, in fact, a female cat. Yep.
And if that wasn't enough big news, Kevin was also pregnant! A pregnant cat is a far cry from a male kitten.
Erin, being a huge animal lover, decided to take Kevin home and help her bring her litter of kittens safely into the world. Erin also documented the entire saga, which turned out to be the most wholesome thing we've seen about cats in a long time.
“Catching her was a 4-day ordeal of offering her treats and then food.”
“During this process, my boyfriend Landon named him (her) Kevin. We would sit out on the patio with her for an hour or two every evening, she would roll around on her back for belly rubs but was really skittish and didn’t want us petting her. She would chase after us if we would get up and walk away, though.”
“She took a few laps around my office and laid down in the hallway like, ‘This is my house now’. I closed my office door, put her in our bathroom, and found a vet that would see us the next day to see if she was chipped. She wasn’t, and that’s when we found out that she was a girl and pregnant,” Erin explained.
“From the first time we spotted her in the green belt to today on our couch, she talks nonstop. She has full conversations with her kittens, which is cute to hear from the other room.”
“We were really hesitant to introduce Kevin and Murphy at first, but Kevin took the initiative and went right up to him, and they’ve been best friends since. He is obsessed with her kittens, and the kittens love to climb all over him, pounce on his tail, and sneak up and stalk him.”
“She had her kittens 4 days after we got back from the vet, and we spent all our time reading articles for what to expect when your cat’s expecting and asking for advice from friends who had fostered kittens.”
“This means that when they’re all old enough to go to their forever homes, they will be chipped, fixed, and vaccinated!”
“They have all been adopted,” Erin added. “They are going in pairs which we are very happy about, two to a friend here in Austin and two to our old roommate back in San Francisco. They’ll be ready to go home in a week and we’ve decided Kevin belongs here with us for good!”
Awwww
Cutie!
