big things happening at home.
our cat is pregnant and the whole family is certain that our neighbour's cat got her pregnant.
Mom thinks that we should give the neighbour half of how many ever kittens she births, dad thinks that we should ask said neighbour to pay child support
Dad is considering going and talking to neighbour in an hour or so about the child support.
Will keep y'all updated.
Mom: "that boy has been roaming here and sight-adichifying our girl for months now"
*looks to cat*
"you're too young to do all this, you had a future...."
Dad: "no point scolding her [mum's name], we need to go talk to [neighbour's name] least he can do is pay for food."
update 1:
Dad is practicing what to say to the neighbor, I keep hearing "hello [name] how are you doing? We need to talk about Guddu (our cat) and Kanna (his cat)" over and over again and he keeps stuttering also.
I see where I get my social awkwardness from.
update 2:
Mom is sitting with Guddu and wholeheartedly lecturing her about how all men are like this and that once they satisfy themselves, they won't bother about you or the child.
Guddu is a cat.
update 3: Neighbour is home, mom is advising dad to take Guddu along for dramatic effect, dad is weirdly protective.
Dad: "what if she turns out not to be pregnant or if it's someone else's, we can't let them know we don't know who the father is"
once again these are cats.
update 4: Parents tried to call my grandfather up and tell him that Guddu (our cat) is pregnant.
Grandfather is 90+, hard of hearing and doesn't really know how to take phonecalls.
He has not understood what they are trying to tell him.
He thinks that I am pregnant.
update 5: parents are arguing, both are accusing the other of not paying enough attention to Guddu and her "behaviour".
Mom: "you're never home, how you'll know what she does and where she goes? With that boy (me) also you were like this."
idk why im catching strays.
update 6: turns out my parents didn't bother clearing things up with my grandfather.
He just called to ask me how I got pregnant/which girl I got pregnant.
Told him it's the cat that's pregnant, not me or some non-existent lover and he hung up on me.
update 7: dad is taking Guddu to meet our neighbour and Kanna (neighbour's cat).
Obviously I will be going along with him.
update 8: Our neighbour is convinced that it cannot be Kanna that got her pregnant because
a) Kanna isn't home right now.
b) Kanna has been neutered.
not a good look for us or Guddu.
update 9:
Dad and neighbour have argued for ab fifteen minutes.
Neighbour standing his ground that Kanna could not have gotten Guddu pregnant, dad growing increasingly frustrated.
update 10:
Dad just raised his voice at the neighbour and asked him to prove to us all that Kanna is neutered.
it's so over 😭
update 11:
Dad and neighbour are having a full blown argument. Neighbour implied that Guddu (our cat) was a loose woman and my dad called Kanna (neighbour's cat) a "loafer".
I'm convinced they'd be fully physically fighting each other if I wasn't here.
update 12:
Guddu snuck away during the argument.
Found Kanna humping Guddu under the neighbour's bed when we went looking for her.
Neighbour has agreed to foster half the litter whenever they're born.
update 13 (possibly final): Dad and neighbour are now bonding by talking shit ab the vet who allegedly neutered Kanna but clearly failed.
Grandfather just called me up to ask who Guddu was and why my mother is getting weirdly emotional.
p.s. - dad and neighbour are bonding by sharing woes ab their ungrateful children (Kanna in the neighbour's case, me and Guddu in my dad's case)
The neighbour is closer in age to me btw, keep this in mind when you imagine a man defending his cat's honour.
we finna neuter her after her first litter and we're not just takin kittens away xD, once they're fully nursed and weaned neighbour will be feedin em until they adopted
not dumb, not our first rodeo.
yes we are going to have her spayed after she has this litter, this will be her only litter.
no we are not going to DNA test the kittens because none of us are insane.
we figured out she was pregnant bc she's gotten rounder(?) over the past two weeks or so.
Once again, she cannot read.
FINAL UPDATE:
WE WENT TO THE VET, GUDDU IS OVERWEIGHT NOT PREGNANT.
HER DIET HAS CHANGED EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY AND WE'RE WONDERING HOW TO APOLOGISE TO KANNA AND HIS OWNER.
the only person who truly deserves justice in this entire situation is my grandfather I think.
