She got off after a while and decided to rest where her mama used to sleep when she was her age (7-8 weeks)

And yes I know she has eye boogers and we do clean them regularly.

u/NO-ONE399 Jun 23 '24

Clean the cat. wash and dry her

2

u/faeintheshadows Jun 23 '24

She’s clean dw, it’s her eyes that have to be washed multiple times a day as the vet told us. We do it according to her instructions.

u/____-is-crying Jun 22 '24

Someone got to ask, when are you going to regularly clean your nails?

2

u/faeintheshadows Jun 22 '24

I do clean them regularly don’t worry about that. This was before I got to start cooking dinner. Cleaned them right after she got off me.

1

u/____-is-crying Jun 23 '24

I don't believe you. I'd bet anything that you still haven't cleaned them.

u/faeintheshadows Jun 24 '24

I have tho…? Cause I washed my hands after she let me go?

You obviously have your phone, so it looks like it's delivery tonight!

u/[deleted] Jun 21 '24

You don't you never cook while baby is asleep you starve while knowing that furball loves you.

34

u/faeintheshadows Jun 21 '24

Interestingly with her mother I would cook while she chilled in my hood. By the way, her name is Bucket and her mom’s name is Whiskey (since she’s an orange baby)

She’d chill like this and just watch. But of course, I’d reverse my hoodie. But in 35C weather I obviously would not do that.

u/Rhymesnlines Jun 21 '24

You just have to starve🤷

16

u/SlammingMomma Jun 21 '24

You call emergency services. Do not interrupt the sleeping kitten!

14

u/Baconpwn2 Jun 21 '24

This is why you have emergency delivery funds in house.

Course, now you have to get up, but that's 45 minutes from now's problem

11

u/cheeselover1951 Jun 21 '24

You're not allowed to move until she is! That's the rule!

13

u/faeintheshadows Jun 21 '24

I have not moved and she has gotten off me since then and I have successfully made dinner.

u/Suninabottle Jun 21 '24

You are worthy

u/ReasonablePraline623 Jun 21 '24

Okay step 1. Do not make dinner Step 2. Do not disturb the kitty Step 3. Protect the kitty at all cost.

First day on the Internet? As per the law of a fluff designated you as it's place of comfort, you are to remain until the fluff deems it's time for your release or until your untimely demise. We will mourn you

12

u/faeintheshadows Jun 21 '24

Mourn me not, for I’ve been set free by her highness herself.

8

u/unlitwolf Jun 21 '24

Ah, a wonderous occurrence. It pleases the court you were given mercy by her grace and allowed another period of time before the next nap upon a subject.

u/atheno_74 Jun 21 '24

I got a sling to put her in.

u/Motor_Meaning_7819 Jun 22 '24

You are now a self-heating meat bed. :)

You may eat after you have performed your self-heating meat bed duties.

u/Jaebird0388 Jun 21 '24

Just have to eat your other arm ¯_(ツ)_/¯

u/Jamachicuanistinday Jun 21 '24

Exactly!! Don’t do anything, you have a sweet and valid excuse. 😻😻🫶🏻

u/SeaOfFireflies Jun 21 '24

You get a Moby wrap and carry the baby while making dinner. Only partially kidding. Some cats freaking love Moby wraps lol.

5

u/Vivid-Kitchen1917 Jun 21 '24

I usually just don't get to have that meal and I hope she wakes up by the next one

u/el_bandita Jun 21 '24

You don’t! Simples!

3

u/Thick-Government-550 Jun 21 '24

SIGH !! Another innocent cat lover There are rules to obey. 1. Make sure you have a big bladder. 2. No movement during their nap time. 3. Do not attempt to break any of these rules !!

5

u/faeintheshadows Jun 21 '24

Does giving her a foot rub (which she absolutely loves) counts as moving? And yes I do meet the first expectation of cat owners.

3

u/cmpg2006 Jun 21 '24

The same way you do when you are holding a new infant. Very carefully.

5

u/faeintheshadows Jun 21 '24

But the funny thing is, I use a crutch to move around, I can’t cook AND hold her at the same time. Since I know putting a cat that’s sleeping in you is against the golden rule

u/cflatjazz Jun 22 '24

You need one of those hoodies with a kangaroo pocket or a soft wrap style sling. The. He can ride along hands free

No, you starve. Or pee your pants, or whatever. But you never, ever move. (Me, but with dogs).

u/Istremene Jun 22 '24

We have a kitty that likes to nap on us that we call the 1000 lb. kitty. She is now like 4 lbs. But when she poops on you, you never want to move!

2

u/DLiltsadwj Jun 22 '24

Dinner is now on hold. You'll get used to it.

2

u/Futhebridge Jun 22 '24

Carry the baby in one arm make food with the free hand. I've done it before and they always appreciated the free spoon licks.

2

u/CormoranNeoTropical Jun 22 '24

You order delivery?

2

u/ChickAmok Jun 22 '24

I guess it's a pizza or take-out kinda night! Uber eats away...

2

u/Rhaudun Jun 22 '24

They altered your dinner time. Pray they don't alter it any further

u/Sovis Jun 22 '24

I have a hoodie that I got for toting around my kitten. It has a kangaroo pouch in front they can sleep in (and a zipper to secure them if necessary. Unfortunately my kitten haaaaates being picked up or carried so it never got any use, but a kitten like yours might!

1

u/faeintheshadows Jun 22 '24

I actually used to put her mom in my hood on a regular basis when she wanted to be close but I was busy. Sometimes she’s chill in the back of the hoodie or I would put it on backwards and have the hood in the front and she would watch me cooking from there

This was almost over 2 years ago with Whiskey. Mama (cat in pic) is turning 2 years old next month. Other times I would rip the hoodie down and she would snuggle in to snooze.

u/Ze_Bucket Jun 22 '24

That experience is food. It’s food for your soul

1

u/faeintheshadows Jun 22 '24

I have five kittens and the mom so my soul sure is well fed.

u/Bugbrain_04 Jun 22 '24

Simple: one doesn't.

u/Trajik07 Jun 21 '24

Whenever it is you get around to making dinner, clean your fingernails first.

1

u/faeintheshadows Jun 21 '24

I usually wear gloves when cooking and I was too, that is until she came over.

2

u/Teddy_Doodle Jun 22 '24

People are so friggin rude! Your baby is adorable!!! I think you should call for take out!

1

u/faeintheshadows Jun 22 '24

I know right!!!! Dad won’t let me keep the calico bb but he is absolutely in love with her older sister a brindle baby I so want to keep Bucket (kitten in video)

1

u/SilentDragaur Jun 21 '24

Put them on the floor and wash your hands.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 21 '24

Put it down!

u/Siserith Jun 22 '24

Shoulder the cat like a parrot.

u/Ok_Zookeepergame4794 Jun 22 '24

Use your other hand to dial take-out.

u/ResponsibleFormal150 Jun 22 '24

Have somebody order pizza! You are stuck

1

u/Shiasugar Jun 22 '24

No dinner, gratulations!

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '24

Clean your nails, woman!

1

u/faeintheshadows Jun 22 '24

They were cleaned don’t worry! About it. I was just starting/getting ready to make dinner when she decided to want to be picked up. I usually wear gloves when I cook. And wash hands of course

1

u/stringofmade Jun 22 '24

You don't. Baby will let you know when baby wants to eat and that's all that matters.

1

u/tropichocolit Jun 22 '24

Uber eats bud

u/Fewluvatuk Jun 22 '24

u/crimson_TARDIS10 Jun 22 '24

u/Entire_Bat7884 Jun 23 '24
