At Jennifer’s stomach, Whiskers began to meow, but it wasn’t the normal loving, lovely sound they were used to. Instead, it was a long, loud meow that made Julian and Jennifer tremble. It sounded less like a meow and more like a wail. The fact that Whiskers’ sobbing persisted day and night and filled their house with an eerie sound was even more worrisome. What had become of Whiskers? He practically gave off the impression of being possessed. It ultimately reached a tipping point after Whiskers’s continuous meowing for days. Jennifer pleaded with Julian to take Whiskers to the veterinarian because she could no longer stand the unceasing, unsettling sounds. We must ensure his well-being.
Was there something else going on, or was he just sick? Is his incessant meowing a sign that they’re missing something? Jennifer wondered why their cat was so upset as she examined her expanding belly. In an attempt to reassure their unborn child, she said to her tummy, “Everything will turn out alright.” But in truth, she was quite afraid, and these comforting words were as much for her as for the baby. To make matters worse, the unsettling idea kept coming to mind. What if they had to decide between their beloved cat, Whiskers, and their soon-to-be baby? They didn’t want to consider this choice, but it was becoming more and more difficult to ignore. They realized in their hearts that they could have to take Whiskers to a shelter if he was unable to adjust to the baby. Every time this notion occurred to them, it made them angry. However, what was the matter with Whiskers? Why was he behaving strangely? Did they overlook something?
