Tabitha, my year old tabby 'moggie', has recently had five beautiful fur babies. They were five weeks old yesterday and I have been trying to decide how many, if any, to keep. I'd love to keep them all but I already have five cats and six rabbits. I have more good homes than I do kittens fortunately so if I did let them all go I know they would be well cared for.
Twice I have been chatting to Tabitha about this. Asking her what she thinks and if she would like to keep any (some of you may think this sounds a bit mad, but it made sense to me!!) Both times she has left my bedroom and shortly after I have heard a meow and when I have opened the door she has moved one of the kittens from the spare room 'nursery' to outside my door. Both times it has been the little grey kitten. Do you think she is trying to tell me something?  It's only ever after we have been chatting about the future of her fur babies that she has done this.
I have had many cats but never a grey one and if I did keep one that would be the one so it is good Tabitha agrees  I then have the dilemma of if it would be fair to keep just one as I work all day and the poor little thing may get bored. I have always had kittens in pairs in the past.
It may just be co-incidence but it really looked like Tabitha was trying to show me what she wants me to do. I wonder if I gave her a room full of numbers she could pick out a lottery win for me?

aaaw that is a really cute story

Let us know what you decide to do.
I think they understand. If I say 'are you hungry?' to Waffles she meows and runs to her food cupboard and she understands no, get down, get out and give me a kiss. When I say that she puts her nose on my cheek
SO yes, I would say that they do understand. They are not silly. There are certain places I don't like Waffles to get (like under the stairs) and when it goes all quiet I just know that she is under there. She gets out as soon as she sees me.
I think they are much more clever than a lot of people give them credit for
... maybe I should have called her Einstein
