Oookay, haha, this is weird, but-- Good morning!

[Timothy's face appears on the video, too close before he backs up a little and grins down at his viewers. He looks excited and, finally for some people, sober.]

Craziest thing happened; walked out of my house this morning and like, yeah, I haven't cleaned up or anything in the fields or whatever yet but! I'm definitely keeping the house and porch clean, I'm not a slob, but-- Oh right, back on track, the craziest thing ever. I walk outside and I find this...

[Tim turns the camera to point it instead at a mother cat nursing her kittens in a box on his porch.]

What the fuck right? What do I even do with 'em?

[Okay so... Jack would definitely like, drown them all or something? And make a big deal out of it? But Timothy can't be that cruel to animals... Humans, probably, not baby kittens.]

Should I like, move 'em? I got the mom a bowl of water but she's not coming out.

[Now there's a familiar face (if minus the, ah, bolts or whatever). Hi, Fake!Jack.]

They're likely too small to move. The mother will come out when she's ready.

She might be wary of you still, cats take their time in knowing people.

[collegedebt]

[Shhhhhh!! He'll panic!]

I didn't touch her or anything, figured she'd bite.

[He turns the camera back to himself where he's now sitting squat near the kittens. You can hear the little mew mew mews. It's very adorable.]

I thought I saw her around a couple'a days ago, guess she's not just fat.

[agradecido]

You get a bit of warning before they bite, usually. [A pause.] Unless she has the water sickness, I suppose. She doesn't seem to.

Most of the cats I've seen around are feral, you may need to sweet talk her. You could try fish in a bit of broth?

[collegedebt]

Mm! Oh yeah, I was gonna get her a can of tuna.

[Tim shuffles back to the house for a couple minutes (struggling with a can opener) before bringing it back in a little bowl to tempt the mama with, setting it by the water bowl.]

She's feeding them I think, so I dunno if she'll go after it any time soon though...

[shotinhead]

[ Wow, they're replying helmetless. Mostly because they'd overslept and not slipped it on yet, but. Their house, however... well, it looks a mess. Mostly because they've been basically ripping it apart. ]

What the fuck are those.

[ they look like small angry dogs ]

[collegedebt]

Bro, you don't know what cats are?

[Tim puts the screen closer to the cats, so Courier can definitely hear the little mew mew mews.]

They're little... y'know, pets? Like a dog, but it's a cat.

[shotinhead]

Cats died off, I think. Maybe they're elsewhere, but...

[ Okay, they are trying not to melt into oh my gosh they are adorable, but it's in that voice. ]

They're... tiny. New life is always amazing, isn't it?

[ okay play it cool courier ]

[collegedebt]

They died off? Holy shit!

[He's loud, so the mama cat gives him a vicious look before going back to tending to her babies.]

That's... fucking awful, wow. But hey, you have these ones here.

[They're bros now, right? Tim is going to assume that, so he'll talk like it.]

Come over and see them if you want.

[Awwwwwww, just two dudes bonding over kittens.]

[Video]

[swordprincess]

Oh, that is so adorable. I don't think it's crazy at all.

[She'll just quietly adore them cats.]

[collegedebt]

Nah, I meant that she decided to have 'em on my porch of all places. I figured she'd pick underneath of it at least!

Or something...

[He does move the camera closer so she can look at the babies though.]

[text]

[ringrust]

Keep them around. You won't get mice.

[collegedebt]

yeah yeah i think the moms been killing stuff all around here before this, I saw her a couple days ago

but I don't wanna keep 6 cats around I figure I'll see if anyone wants any of the babies.

[video]

[alloutoflove]

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?!

[ Sorry, but there's now a face leaning in super close into the camera. It's like she doesn't even notice Timothy, she's too focused on !!kittens!!

Not even the mama cat, just. The kittens. ]

You have to take care of them! Put out food for the mother! Blankets! A box! Patience! They're your responsibility now!!

[collegedebt]

Calm the fuck down, geez!

[Her ...noises have irritated the mama cat, who cocks her ears back at both that and Timothy's yelling. The babies just mew mew mew.]

I already did all that shit, she even picked the damn box herself!

[alloutoflove]

Don't swear in front of babies!

[ "They're just kittens." "So what." ]

If you've done all that, then you should continue doing it! For now, providing a safe place with food and water is the best thing that mama could ask for from you.

[collegedebt]

Well you should know better than to scream in front of babies too, dumbass.

[Don't tell him to not fucking swear, girlie.]

Yeah well, anyway-- I figured I might move the box inside but other than that, she seems happy to be left alone.

[video]

[kahunanu]

Give them water. Fresh fish, not that she can't hunt for herself.

Every black shirt you own, especially if it's freshly clean.

[collegedebt]

I got her some tuna, but she's not interested right now. I figure she'll come out when she's ready.

[Tim scratches the back of his neck, nervous habit.]

What to like, put in the box? I dunno how many extra tshirts I have....

[kahunanu]

No, no. Business as usual. Hang your shirts or fold them or do whatever you normally do.

Just know they're hers now.

[standingonmyneck]

Water. Fresh fish. Plenty of blankets. Attention. The whole nine yards.

[She was deadpan and serious. Take care...of the children.]

They're literally going to be blind and won't be able to care for themselves.

[collegedebt]

I know that much, I'm not a freakin' monster.

[He's grinning though.]

I guess I should get her a blanket or something, should I just lay it in on top of them...? I mean, probably not...

[standingonmyneck]

Not when they're barely squirming little screaming beans, you should. Only monsters would do that.

[Snark, snark, snark.]

The mother's going to need the support. It's more for making the space clean and warm.

[readypunch]

They're adorable!

[she's leaning as far in as she can, grinning.]

Cats are pretty capable! But I bet she'll let you know if she needs something.

[collegedebt]

I'll leave my window open, I guess. Probably move them inside if it starts raining or something.

[He moves the camera closer to the kittens.]

There's five I think.

[readypunch]

That sounds good, let them have shelter if they want it!And hopefully will, they look like they'll be nice to have around.

Five! That's a good number. Have you got names for them?
