If you’re on my Facebook you might have noticed a few mentions of “Thylvethter”, my cat. Late last year I was thinking of getting a male kitten and my twin sister told me that her colleague knew someone who wanted to give his male kitten away. I told them I’d adopt him. So the guy transported the kitten to my friend, who gave it to my sister, who handed it to me. My initial thought was “a bit bigger than I expected, but okay.”

Thylvethter wasn’t shy at all; jumped on everything, scratched everywhere and climbed on anybody.
Violent Kitten
2 weeks ago I found out that he was actually a she. Let’s just say it was mating season and he was displaying female behaviour. I never checked. I asked my sister to check and she reassured me that the cat was male. Even the guy who handed Thyl to me confirmed his gender. But no, Thyl is female. So we’ve scheduled an appointment at the SSPCA to get her sterilized. We’ll bring her to the vet some time next Friday.

My sister thinks it would be humane to allow Thyl to give birth to a first litter because all female cats should have that chance to be a mother. As much as I agree with her, I still live in my mum’s house and she would go berserk if she found out we were getting more cats. We already have two. I’m imagining the consequences. I mean, what would happen if Thyl were to give birth to two or three female kittens, and then I allow each of them to give birth once and then they give birth to two or three kittens each…this could go on.
So I guess it’s not kitties for Thyl. But apart from that, if we feel she needs more company we’ll get another kitten. Hopefully male this time so we won’t have ponder through this slight cruelty of taking the opportunity of having a first litter away from the cat.
