after breaking my leg, I had to travel to my parents house (so that they could lower food into my mouth while I recline like an ailing Victorian), and UNFORTUNATELY this has had consequences for Grim.
she's terrified of their 120lb dog. my bedroom upstairs is safe from the dog, but I can't go up stairs, so she's been alone up there all week, and has been losing weight because she's reluctant to come out even for food.
the solution? my mother hauled her downstairs like a sack of flour and locked her, screaming, into the sick room with me and Pangur. this will be better for Grim's health longterm, but she can't help but protest her loss of freedom
(please note, she is also purring heavily in between screams, and begging for belly rubs)

Congratulations on your kitten!
A few (a lot) bits of advice from someone who raised 4 kittens:
Watch your step. It's very easy to accidentally squish them. My kitten used to hide in a pillowcase and she was so small that you wouldn't even notice. Pat down everything before you sit.
Kittens are small enough to hide in EVERYTHING. I thought two of mine were lost. They were just sleeping under a closet.
Kittens usually will try to escape the room as soon as possible. Be careful when opening doors so they don't get out.
Cats will meow a lot to get your attention so you'll open the door.
Don't run around them. They get scared.
Cats will try their best to get food. They will break dishes to get anything with dairy (they push them off the counter). They can open pizza boxes, take off covers. I wish I was joking. They also love to claw open flour bags and dump flour everywhere. Keep your food somewhere they can't open.
Cats love plants. Keep them out of reach or your cat will eat them.
Cats will eat everything. I mean everything. Do not leave food out.
Do not let the kitten get somewhere high. They can get up. But getting down is another story. (usually this is rectified once the cat gets older).
There is a very high chance the cat will sleep on you if you go to sleep.
Cats CAN open doors. Kittens can't, but older cats can.
Cats think strings are toys. Which means if you wear those pants with strings at the waist to tighten them they will attack you
Cats like to eat hair for some reason.
They will try to drink out of the toilet.
Some cats like to knead you. It's painful bc they use claws. Wear thick pants if they're on you.
It is VERY hard to pick up a sleeping kitten when they're on you. Even if you need to go somewhere.
Thank you!! :D

scenario from the kryptonian selkie au that lives in the heads of me and my besties (@mamawasatesttube & @deadchannelradio) & was inspired by this art from @spookyprime 🦭 pov your kind-of son who had his coat stolen by the people who created him and had to fight so hard to get it back comes home with his friend WEARING IT (friend has no idea what his seal fur jacket means btw) because he fell into the harbor in January and so you have an initial PANIC gut reaction. ID is in alt text!
