Sophie, Harley & The Cats, Not One But Five

I know this is supposed to be about training which mostly it is but I have to tell a few stories about my other pets.

TOOTSIE - Part One
As I told you before, we got Harley the week in December. What I didn't mention is we have a cat named Tootsie who at the time happened to be pregnant. I'm not an irresponsible pet owner, at least I try not to be. 

Tootsie about 4 months

We got Tootsie sometime between February & May of 2010. With all that happened that year getting Tootsie spayed was the last thing on my mind. 

December 2010 was, well,  interesting to say the least. About a week or two before Christmas, I woke up at, I want to say 4:00 in the morning with what sounded like someone saying hello. Mind you, it had been at least twenty years since I lived with cats, which were always outside. My first thought was, someone's in the house. So I shut my eyes really tight hoping whoever it was would just take what they wanted and leave. Of course Mr. Aloha was fast asleep, until the hello got closer. Once I realized he was awake I asked "What the hell is that" He replied "A cat, I told you Tootsie was going into heat".

Yes, it is true, he did happen to mention it. I just didn't believe him because his reason sounded so stupid to me. He said she was going into heat cause she lifted her tail and purred when he scratched her back. There was no blood, her female area was not swollen, which is what happens when Sophie goes into heat. So why in God's name would I believe him.

The meowing & cooing continued until Mr. Aloha had to go to work , he leaves at 5:45am. "Should I let her out?" he asks. "No!" I say, exasperated at the thought. What was he nuts. I said as much to him. "I don't want kittens! What will we do with them?" I said I would call the vet to make an appointment to have her spayed. To my surprise, she peed on his pillow. Oh Tootsie, I thought to myself, your Daddy is going to be very upset with you. I called the vet, they said it would cost more because she was in heat. That I didn't mind, unfortunately the earliest appointment would be a week away. That I minded! I know it's our fault for not having it done earlier. The thought of listening to meowing & cooing for an entire week was too much. 

And then it happened. It wasn't bad enough she peed on the pillow, she peed on me! I was sitting on the sofa when out of the corner of my eye I see her tail shaking. I looked down and I had pee on me! That was it, out she went. I called Mr. Aloha & left the following message. "I don't care if the stupid (not the word I used) cat gets pregnant, she just peed on me & I threw her out! I'd say it was maybe half an hour before he returned my call. When I answered, all I heard was laughing, hysterically I might add! After he was done laughing, I asked him what we should do. He said let her have kittens. I personally thought he was nuts, but then again, I would find homes for however many she had. Ya, right!
