You never know when you might be called on to help with this. Seriously.
A couple years ago my roommate Mary called our apartment. No one else was home. She told me that her cat, who was living at some friends’ house because we couldn’t keep her at our apartment, was about to give birth. She asked me what to do.
“Don’t they usually take care of that themselves?” I asked her. She said she didn’t think so. She seemed a bit frantic so after we hung up I got on google, found an article about the subject and printed it out. By the time I got to her with it, she’d called the vet and gotten the details and everything was ok.
So read this article and bookmark it in case something like that ever happens to you. Or tell your friend to just call the vet.

Being prepared is terribly important. In Nelson’s case, when his best friend called him at 2am insisting that he come over and help him with an undisclosed emergency, he was very prepared. He arrived 10 minutes later to find that his friend’s prince albert was caught on his one-night-stand’s tonsil. Nelson, being the clear-headed fellow that he is, calmly closed the bedroom door and called him an ambulance.
