13 Feb--Pregnant 'Kitten'

Mon, 13 Feb worked on my blog again this morning ... i have nothing to do, ....no one to see, ....no where to go :) ...this is quite a change for me ! around 10am i started walking slowly down the street. i passed by WSORC, the Whale Shark organization that i volunteered with twice last year. i sent them an email before Christmas, and followed up with 2 others, asking if they needed volunteers this year; but heard nothing back from them. WSORC is affiliated with the Bay Islands College of Diving and the Utila Lodge; but a separate entity. so i decided to stop in there and see what i could find out. i was directed to the woman in charge of the whole facility and we visited for awhile. the Whale Shark Research Center has kind of fallen apart; ... actually that had happened last year. she has her hands/plate full with the College and the Lodge. she said she would like to get something going; but didn't know what exactly. my emails did not go to her; no one ever saw them. so, she said she would think on this and asked me if i would stop by again tomorrow. she talked about doing some programs with the children :( .... i had to tell her that i wasn't 'good with kids' ... so hopefully she will come up with something else that is a better fit for me :) i walked back up to BICA, where i volunteered last year. Trish, Pamela, and Jenny were in the office. Trish and i visited for awhile. it was nice to get caught up on what was going on. i told her about the kitten at the store and mentioned that yesterday i had seen a pregnant cat by the door there at BICA. Trish hadn't noticed her; but sure enough, we looked outside and there she was. she said that the Vet was now using one of the offices upstairs for her Vet Clinic; and she'd ask her if she would take care of the cat. this island isn't any different from anywhere else ... they don't need any more cats/kittens! i walked back home and it was a nice hot day, i decided to go for a swim in 'my beach' out front .... i just sat in the water and gave myself a foot treatment, then my legs and arms, using the sand and water ... i should have super soft skin now! nice little beach ... the water was calm as a bath tub then i went for a walk down to Cheppes Beach at the West End of the bay ... the restaurant Munchies had All You Can Eat Pasta tonight, so i thought i'd give it a try. ....mine with meat sauce, please, and garlic bread ... i was happy. i went to the store across the road to get a Coke for Rum and Coke in my room ... and my kitten was there ... she seems to have gotten a LOT larger, ... i think she is due any time now :( i took more photos of her Help Me ! she is really a sweet kitten ... too young to being having babies .. she just wants to play by the time i got back to my room, i had decided i needed to do something about the kitten. i sent an email to Trish asking her if maybe the Vet would take care of the store kitty, ..... if it was ok w/them; .....and how much it would cost, ...i would pay.
