I was steeling myself for the chore of drowning newborn kittens when we found out she's just fat.

Nope, no way in hell that I'd have been able to do that. I'd have had to have those kittens fixed when they were old enough.

We've been here in the country for about 4 years. I think we've always had a cat that I assume is one of the neighbors. We used to see one, then some guys working under the house found that one. Then we'd see another one. Most recently, I've seen a third one. I assume they don't last long around here.
