One of my female cats, a sweet black cat, small and very friendly, got pregnant. She would always hop into the washing basket when I would hang out the washing and play around in the clothes and demand sweetly that I pat her and rub her tummy etc. A very friendly small cat.
She had her 3 kittens but I didn’t know where they were, but I eventually found her and her kittens in a barrel in the greenhouse. Two of the kittens were dead, and what probably happened is that she slept on them accidentally while they were so small and they died.
She was very upset about the two dead kittens and stressed that they would not get up.
Another cat, a stray, had 6 kittens under a tree on my front lawn, they were all in a hole of branches and such. I stole one of her kittens and gave it to the little black mother kitten to replace her lost kittens as her body and mind were prepared for more than one kitten and she would be making milk for three kittens I would imagine. She readily and happily accepted the new bigger tabby kitten as her own and the other mother cat was probably relieved to have one less kitten to look after and feed.
I moved the cat and kittens that were under the tree to a little house I had made for cats on my front yard area. And the little black mother cat (I never name the cats at my place) was happy with her kittens in the house.
I tend to see things in life, like observe and come up with observations and theories of what I see.
And I noticed that the tabby kitten was about 2 weeks older than the little black kitten, thus bigger. But this kitten, the tabby, would stay with its new sibling as if they were the same age. The outside kittens are now this last week, playing around having fun, while the inside tabby their biological brother is submitting to his environment and behaving as the kitten that is two weeks younger is behaving. Less active, sleeping alot.
The tabby kitten and black kitten have been together for about 3-4 weeks or more. I don’t really remember when they were born or when I put them together.
The Tabby Kitten see’s the black mother cat as his mother and the little black kitten as his sibling and therefore has adjusted his mentality and lifestyle to fit in. He and the black kitten are finally starting to play, while the siblings outside are bounding around and having loads of fun and sampling solid food.
The little black kitten needed lots of sleep, more than the older Tabby Kitten, but the Tabby Kitten seeing himself as one with the little black kitten would stay there sleeping for as long as the little black kitten while his siblings that are his own age are outside bounding around very active. The Tabby Kitten is “fitting in” and doing what is expected of him.
A couple of times I have put the Tabby Kitten with his real family of kittens and he has appeared to be afraid and not fitting in and wants to be back with his adopted family.
What I saw in the Tabby Kitten was a lot of what humans do when they get into an environment, they adapt and don’t want to change that way that they live even if it limits their lives and what they do, and stunts their opportunities and even happiness.
The Tabby Kitten and the little black kitten live in a little house that I made for them in my lounge, and it has a doorway with no door in it. The Tabby Kitten’s siblings outside would be running and jumping all around the lounge, but the Tabby Kitten won’t even go out of the open door, he prefers to stay inside with the black kitten, drink mothers milk, and do what the little black kitten does. Sometimes I lift the lid to see if they are alright and the Tabby Kitten looks up at me while cuddled to the little black kitten and he is awake while the younger kitten is fast asleep and doing what he should do to grow at his age.
The Tabby Kitten is awake, aware, and should be playing, but feels safe and secure cuddled up to the only family he knows his adopted mother and brother.
Opportunity and fun, personal growth and change await the Tabby Kitten, but he won’t reach for it until the little black kitten does, or maybe the little black kitten won’t try, and if that were the case the Tabby Kitten would remain in mentally life-limiting mental-captivity its entire life.
Every animal and every human is a pioneer, we all have that ability to step up our game, step out, take chances, and do what those around us are uncomfortable with us doing. What’s uncomfortable with others around us can be very comfortable and the destiny of one of the family or group.
The thing about the Tabby Kitten limiting his life, adapting to doing exactly what the little black kitten is doing, and fitting in is what billions of people do around the world as they fear offending people, and they fear change, and they have an idea, dream, desires, and they stop all of that to fit in and feel accepted even if being accepted kills all their childhood dreams, desires and wants, and even their own personal needs.
We never know our destiny or what we are capable of if we don’t do what our heart and life call us to do.
