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.

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.

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.

[collegedebt]

Yeah, but I don't wanna move 'em either. She hisses at me if I get too close, so I just put out some tuna and water for her and left it alone.

[standingonmyneck]

That probably just means the mother doesn't trust you yet. Cats need their space and time to get to know you.

[A small sigh.]

If you're really concerned about them, just keep the food and water out for her and keep that safe watching distance. If you're lucky, then that's all you need to do.

[collegedebt]

That's why I asked! Just in case, like.

[He shrugs, reaching into the box to try and give the mama a tiny piece of the tuna he broke off. She grumbles at him, but doesn't hiss this time.]
