Mama says that some kitties actually have shrinks. That some kitties get a little ditsy or neurotic over food or stressed out over their mamas and papas leaving town and leaving them with a kitty-sitter. That some kitties really benefit from a little feline help, especially after becoming mama kitties. Well, isn’t that just like anthro mamas? Seems like a normal state to me, even if I haven’t had the experience of kittens, or at least I think I haven’t because I don’t really know what happened before now, but having kitties is, I’m sure, like having baby anthros, except there are more of them at one time.
And getting help for it makes perfect sense to me.
Having kittens/anthro babies is not all cake and icing, even if everyone goo-goos and kitchy-kitchy-coos at the poor little new creature (just as they do at kittens), and the mamas sometimes just realize that they can’t turn it in for another one or send it back when it cries all night and the realization that they are now MAMAS is sometimes just too much to take.
It doesn’t always happen. But when it does, it’s good to talk to someone about it. I had a kitty friend who had a litter and oh, boy, was she surprised! I think she didn’t even know it was coming, and there were EIGHT of them, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam and bam and even though she was a strong feline, she was a bit overwhelmed. I saw that. And I tried to help her and offered to kitty sit and give baths and such, but she was just too despondent to even talk to me.
She came around and she did take care of those little cuties, but it was after a few visits to the guy above….
But, she fell in love with her analyst and it was just lucky that he wanted nine little bodies crawling all over him. A lot of their friends adopted most of the kitties so it all worked out.
But you never know when someone who listens might be just the ticket when you’re blue.
