A happy and sad day.

Late last night, I was getting the cats ready for bed. By that I mean putting them in my room so there won't be any "accidents" overnight. I found Itsy Bitsy and Omega together in the sitting room. But that wasn't all I saw. Next to Itsy Bitsy was a little kitten. Itsy had finally given birth! I prepared a box and put her outside. Every ten minutes or so, I would go out and check on the progress. By 1:30 am, there were only two kittens; the first being born at 11:56pm. So I went to sleep thinking that the rest would be born overnight. If there were any problems, I was on the other side of the window, and would hear any crying.
When I woke up this morning, there were three little littles crawling around. And Itsy Bitsy was tending to them all. I decided to call them Itsy's Itsies. More specifically, Teeny, Tiny, and Tony. I had no idea on their gender; after all, they were only hours old. And the names were cute. There were two striped kittens, and one black kitten.
Unfortunately, the rain came down so hard today that the house I made for the cats couldn't stand it. When I checked on them all, one kitten was dead, one was crying, and the third was in Itsy's mouth. Now, I am not sure whether it was the storm that caused the death. It is possible that Omega or U were being dominant males and killed it.
The black kitten died just minutes ago. Most likely from the storm. That and Itsy Bitsy had no interest in it. The third kitten, is alive. For now. I have to physically be next to her to make sure she doesn't abandon it. Right now, the two of them are on my bed. I really hope this one lives.
Maybe it was the world's plan for the other two to not make it. Itsy never really had a mommy, so maybe the world is letting her start off slow with one to take care of. All I can do is help her along the way. And if things go well, I may postpone her appointment to get fixed.
In gaming news, I played the Back to the Future game today. It sucks. I didn't like the movie, and I don't like this game. I also worked on Sly 1 some more. I am half-finished with the game. And it is so easy to earn trophies. I think this might be the first game in which I earn all the trophies.
Tomorrow I am working at the office. It isn't supposed to rain tomorrow, but it will be super squishy. If it didn't get muddy or squishy, I wouldn't mind rain so much. That's all for now. I hope to see you around the forums, and until then...
Later!
