I gotta write this one.

When I got back from school, as always I was checking around the apartment if everything was fine with the cats. There was little cat food in my bag, so I poured it to their usual place.

All the cats around here used to me so much, they even take my orders. They know their usual places and getting into a line they wait for the food at the exact place everytime. So it was unusual when one of the best-natured cats was acting so aggressive and attacking every cat within 2 meters. I was patting and holding her back, but seriously I was like "what the fuck is happening here...?!"

Her usual area is 3 blocks away, so when I decided that I can't let her here like this, cause she was even attacking the smaller cats and even a hurt one, I took her in my arms and walked to her area. She was just so good with me, actually was happy in my arms, but even when there were other cats around me, she was hissing.

Still puzzled, I left her in her area, assuming she'd calm down after she got her sleep at least or something lol, turned back and started walking back home. Then I realized she was still coming with me, I stopped and looked, asked "what?!".. And she meowed me for the fucking first time. I had never heard her voice before and I've known her for 3 years. So, still puzzled, I turned back again towards her place, and after one more time meowing to me, starting walking. I got the cue, and walked along with her without having any clue what the hell was happening.

She took me to a corner place under the balconies, a different little place, behind a wire mesh, a weird place for sure, but I figured it's her place. I was there before, but never actually saw any cats there, only some kittens without their mother. Well yes, apparently the mother was always her. Now though, checking still I'm there, she got into the place, walking around and laid down somewhere protective. She was out of my reach, but I was able to see her clearly.

So I assumed I was done, she just showed me her place (why even?!), turned back again, going back home. When I was a block away, she was again with me. I'm not sure if it sounds weird to you, if you're around with cats or not, BUT BE SURE IT'S FUCKING WEIRD. I stopped, looked at her, asked "what" again, she meowed, and we took the same road again. She settled to the same place, and meowed to me.

I saw her stomach clenching, having a pang. Then I got it. STUPID AS FUCK. She was pregnant yeah, but it wasn't that big, so I was assuming she still had at least 2 weeks. DUDE. She was having her babies, and asking me to stay with her.

I watched her settle again, relaxing, looking at me. So yeah, I was thinking what the hell was happening, what the hell did she want from me, I started waiting. Cause;

1. She's not that MY cat, and she had plenty babies before that I actually was looking for a chance she wasn't pregnant so I could took her to my cousin for neutralizing but she was always pregnant or feeding her kittens SOMEWHERE I had no idea. So it was weird that she was even showing her safe place to me.
2. Mother cats never look for someone around, they actually get nervous with people and doesn't want anyone else while they're having their babies.

So. I waited there for 15 minutes in serious cold weather. Whenever I tried to move, she was up, looking at me. When I stop and settle watching again, she would turn and have her relaxed position. After 15 minutes though, since there was nothing I could do and it's going to take forever to give birth (probably all night), I moved WAY too silent and got away from there.

Now it's been an hour I'm home, but my mind is there. Because of their amazing instincts, this unusual behavior can mean her birth will go wrong and she'll need my help. I don't even know. I'm just out of thoughts, cause it's been 4-5 years I've been dealing with stray cats, and I've never lived something quite like this.

And I've been watching way too much Animal Planet lately, I will just start calling myself The Cat Whisperer. A-ha. Exactly.

As most of you know, one of my closest friends is awakencordy. She's a writer and I'm her beta beside a friend. But also, she's a lawyer alongside of being a writer. Hehe.

The other day she called me for a visit out of town for yesterday, she was going to look for a case in the court in that town. I said yeah, sure, since I literally nothing better to do, and also this is one of those rare times I meet her without a chat window connecting us. So, yeah, we took a snowstorm behind us and went to that town.

Since her storytelling is so much better than mine, if you wonder, I'll just leave you to her public entry: http://awakencordy.livejournal.com/523248.html

Especially on our way back, it was getting colder and colder and darker. While we were waiting in the little town train station... I felt like I'm in a movie. It was a moment in time moment (as awakencordy would say), yes, it was. There was snow, there was storm, there was a couple of complete different types of people (a businesswoman, a homeless, two middle-aged man, some random men talking to each other in silent).. It was also quite and dark, other than the wind's voice there was little voice. I loved it.

In the train, while lights are going off and on, I couldn't help but smile. I opened my book after a point (because well, it was a LONG way home back), but whenever lights went off that was a point I should look out and appreciate the beauty.

I love road trips. Any kind. I feel in peace. Like time gets frozen, and I stole that time to myself. ♥

...

Day continued at M's house. She's is awakencordy's friend, and also her ex beta. By that she becomes my friend too :) Also we called other beta, H. We are completely a weird group, our writer got us together in the first place, and it's been 2,5 years for me even though I know her for 7-8 years. I love being a part of it. Also there was M's housemate, and we watched Sherlock 2x03 - The Reichenbach Fall and screamed and talked and shit. Then we went back to 1x01, we appreciated Moffat, and then went to bed.

A worthy day, it was.

HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

My dearest friends, I wish you all a very better new year. Wish whatever you wish from 2012 would come trueeee! ♥

This is what is waiting for us tonight ;



We broke our pine tree just while we try to set it up, and then was too lazy to get a new one actually LOL. And came up with filling this basket with our gifts lolol. This is the most we managed to make in years btw. Me and my brother and my friends. This is all I'm saying ♥

Also there is a huge bottle of tequila along side with Millers and a bottle of red wine. Mom and dad have never actually drunk tequila before, and it's my favorite. LOL we will play Jenga with shots. Oh yes. Hopefully it'll be a fine and a fun night. *crosses fingers*
