Heavier than Usual

I arrived home one late afternoon finding Panda curled up on the doormat. Immediately, she sprang up and like a typical scaredy cat, hopped over the fence onto Manang Mimi's turf next door and settled under a plastic table surrounded by monoblock chairs.

I noticed she looked heavier than usual.

"Manang, is Panda pregnant?"

She said she wasn't sure. "Maybe she's just fat", she surmised.

Manang isn't exactly a good source of information. One time, she told me Panda was Polar's mom. And then sibling. And then recently, she said Polar belongs to the family on the other side of the street.

And so, mustering my telepathic skills, I asked the subject, "So, are you pregnant?"

She ignored me.

Ahaha... Good luck to you if your cat meows back at you. Ahaha... Its possible that your cat is pregnant. There's also a cat here in our compound and does nothing but lie around all day. Cats are usually swift when you pass by them, especially the ones that are not domesticated since they are usually conditioned to be up for beating since they scour food in trash cans rips garbage bags. but this one is different. it ignores me most of the time even i come near her.. Then i observed that it's also stout than the usual... particularly on the belly part. Ahaha.
