Q: Gahh....well my cat had kittens, then had kittens with her son(we are pretty sure). Bad, I know. We intended on getting the cat fixed right after we got her but alot of things came up and we coulnt afford it, then we hitt a rough patch money wise and still havent gotten her fixed....-sigh-

Well anyway, her kittens look okay.....except as of yesterday 2 of them died, one we dont know why and the other was just skin an bones....it was horrible. The remaining 3 are fine, except a little bit...I dont know 'cockeyed' and not completely straight eyed if that makes sense. They seem intelligent enough...they are also a bit small and I'm worried about them. They are around 5 weeks old. Other than the eyes they APPEAR normal.

Also the mother cat got an infection and couldnt feed her kittens(we didnt even know she HAD the kittens) we found the kittens in our basement a week ago crying because they were hungry(they had been fed before obviously, they seemed recently unfed)...like I said they are a little thin but seem okay...Im just worried about them. What are the risks of them not being okay because of their inbreeding and possibly early malnutrition? I'm really scared for them in light of the past deaths...=[

(please dont just tell me to get my cat fixed, trust me I know)

Take the mother and all the kittens to the vet!!!!If you can't afford to look after your cats you shouldn't have them, See if you can give the kittens to a good home just buy putting a ad in the paper don't put a price on them because they are inbreeded and will be disesed make sure they go to a good home,you can still keep the mother or a kitten BUT GET THEM FIXED!!!!!! it is cruel to the mother and her kittens, vets have a program for owners that can't afford to look after there pets they will do treatment for free.
Take good care of them they have a life to

Q: my dog got run over by a car. my mom is on a business trip. should i tell her before she comes home or should i just stage his death?

Honesty is the best policy it wasn't your fault that your dog got hit, so she can't get mad at you, Depending how close your mother was to the dog, answer yourself these questions Would she like to be at the buriel?, would she like to know exactly what happened? would she be mad at you for not telling her? answer those then you should have a pretty clear answer.
goodluck
