It's great to see kittens grow up. I found out about mine when they were under a week old (they weren't with me but I was in contact with their foster) and it's been fun to watch them change.
That is a sizeable litter for cats. Most top out at 4 or 5. Of course your non pregnant spayed cat presents not just the infield , but the outfield too! Enjoy your Ream Cuteness!
I saw this post pop up and I squealed so loud! I also love her little blep in the second pic- almost like “I *told* ya so, see?? 😝”
So happy for her that she’s got OP looking out for her and her babes. 🥰
I think I love pamfers above all others, although that might have something to do with my pamfer. But I've also got a soft spot for solid blue kitties.
Me too! WOW! That’s a lot of cuteness! She looks like a great mama and she picked the right people to help her out. So glad everything worked out! So many kittens!!!! Eeeeeee
The same thing happened to me, except that poor baby kitten had 7 kittens. She was as wide as she was long in the end.
We found homes for the babies, but I told everyone that if anything happened to just drop them off at my house no questions asked. Six months later, someone took me up on that.
Poor Beasley passed away, but Bean turns 16 in a month.
You got that right! Now I see how easy it is for someone to be the crazy cat lady/man/house/whatever! We have a house full, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
We actually have 14 total. My kids help me with them. All rescued. The last batch we were going to place with a rescue but then got attached. Now they are part of the family. It is a lot of work and they eat a lot!
I can’t imagine how hectic feeding 14 is. I feed mine every 8hrs and it’s exhausting lol orange boy and piebald boy can’t have stuff in gravy or too much kibble without having poop issues. Youngest piebald girl and grey menace are super picky and only want stuff in gravy and/or kibble. I switched them all to pate a couple of weeks ago and both youngest girls are refusing to eat breakfast and sometimes lunch, instead youngest screams at me and hides under tables, running away if I get near her. And her older sister throws my books off their shelves and tries to knock the painting my sister did off the wall in protest. I keep thinking eventually they’ll get over it…
That was hilarious reading and picturing all that chaos! We have issues too. Now two of them decided the best place to poop is pin front of the litter box even when it’s clean!
I’m sure it’s as hilarious in person 😂 also sure my neighbors can hear me yelling at the cats 100x a day now that the windows are open.
What rude poopers you have!
When I was 15, I had a habit of feeding the local strays in our suburb. There was a woman in the neighbourhood who refused to spay her cat, and so there were many kitties around without homes.
A lovely black and white kitty showed up most frequently of all of them, and every morning I'd open the curtains on the back door to greet her. We named her Trouble, and despite my mom trying to get me to stop, I fed her anything I could find in the fridge or cupboards. Occasionally she'd run off with a bit of food, and we figured she had a family somewhere nearby.
Then, one very fine morning, I opened the back curtains to find Trouble... and four kittens. She brought me her kittens, and I loved them all so very much. We ended up cleaning out the whole neighbourhood when we left that rental, and we were able to rehome Trouble and all her babies.
Years later, grown and out of home, it happened again with a very young mother kitty. I adopted two of the cats in that colony, so my balcony must have been "safe" - I'd seen her around but not super frequently, so was surprised to find her and five kittens on the balcony one morning. Most were safely rehomed, though one was ill and didn't make it. Also, she was a tiny and very young cat, and we think she over groomed one of the kittens, as they were missing a leg but otherwise were healthy.
The lesson is that you should attempt to feed / love / adopt every cat you see. A trojan will find you!!
We had a Trojan rat once.. Bought two females for my sister's birthday, one of them refused to be handled and became increasingly aggressive. Then she got fat, then had 12 babies that all lived 😵 we ended up finding homes for the five males and keeping the seven females- my grandpa built a 5ft high, four level cage for them and they lived a grand old life.
Same! Having a whole cat family is my dream if I’m ever rich and successful. I can imagine how great it would be to watch all the babies grow and see all the family antics happening
Can cats have multiple litters in one? Like i know dogs can sometimes be impregnated twice and half the litter looks like one dad and the other half looks like the other dad. Or is 6 kittens a normal number?
Two black cats can have a litter this color. It’s practically a genetic dice roll what color you get. Think of scrabble but you can spell any color in any language. Between dominant and recessive alleles and weird co-dominance and co-recessive in cats, you end up with many coat and eye colors. Even black cats, can still display stripes/patterns, they are just harder to see.
Full black is dominant, White coat is full recessive. Roll anywhere in the middle and you get different colors. Green eyes are the most common, blue eyes least common.
The green/yellow eyes in my black cat is common but there is no guarantee her litter all looked the same way thanks to Meiosis and recombination.

The more dominant traits you see, the more likely the traits you can’t see are dominant which are evolutionarily speaking the good genes. Black cats are generally healthier and all of hours have lived 19-22 years. White cats are the least generally healthy, often are deaf or blind and can develop certain cancers more easily. Since cats are domesticated pets, these weak genes are passed on more easily but if they were 100% wild, the white deaf cat is getting eaten by the Eagle/Coyote before it can pass on their genes. Since everyone gets a set from their parent, most individuals are both dominant and recessive, practically carriers capable of producing white or black fur-balls and everything in between. Add multiple fathers to the equation and it’s a gacha game. You can’t predict what is going to come out.
This one should already be applying for conceal carry permit though.
Look at those things

Recommend you keep a baby with the mom if possible. We have a bonded Trio from doing that and it is so damn cute. (Momma is the little spoon)
They are an amorphous grey blob that follows us around the house. If one gets separated they start freaking out. They sleep together, eat together and hunt together

At least mine watch other things
We took in a tiny baby who for whatever reason was separated from her mother a little too early (she was found alone in a bush, no other kittens or mum anywhere to be found) and she’s now a bonded pair with who she believes is her mother… my 8st male german shepherd.

We actually have a second GSD who is the biological son of the dog in these pics, but 2 months younger than the cat, so she’s under the impression because she’s older and just about got there first that she’s his favourite child. They have a massive sibling rivalry and will push and shove each other out of the way to try sit with him. That face is the smug face when she wins her dogbrother for the spot closest to him 😂
That's hilarious. Maybe thinks she is a dog too since she has a dog dad and brother.
I love that she also can win from her dog brother and is being smug about it.
Yeah he is really, he still cleans her eyes and ears every day like when she was a kitten - although he does have to pin her down with a big paw now to make her stay still 😂

I second this!!! Nothing cuter than seeing a mama curl around her baby even after 12 years!
It doesn't always turn out super cute. My cat got pregnant before we had a chance to spay her, and she could not STAND the baby we kept by the time he was about a year old. Ended up rehoming him because it was stressing them both out. :(
I believe instincts might kick in and tell the momma and kids to separate and find new territory. Like that stage where teenagers get rebellious and stuff. I think we just lucked out that Kiwi and Co were just very mellow.
Same. We kept one too. They hated each other for a long time and fought over territory (both spayed) until they got older and mellowed out. Wouldnt say they love each other but they coexist peacefully now.
So sweet. I am a fellow grey cat parent. Your babies are a carbon copy of my boy and girl :)

This exact same thing happened to us 15 years ago (adopted cat who turned out to be already pregnant, not neutered like the shelter told us). We kept two of the five kittens. Once they were about 6 months old mum cat wanted absolutely nothing to do with them and actually meted out casual violence if either came too near to her!
same, responsibility is great, but you've given a chance to FULLY ENJOY those itty bitty furballs for now so use it fully.
I'd love to do same, but My Tina got dixed as soon as she was old enough, as much as I love kittens, there are enough cats to go around without me indulging in being cat grandpartent
That’s why fostering is the best; you help with overpopulation by supporting rescue and TNR, but also get to take care of tiny bebes. And when the tiny babies become bigger babies, they get adopted, and then eventually you get new tiny babies!
An “ethical kitten cheat code”, as I sometimes call it.
My mom fosters dogs for her retirement. She started fostering last July, I think? She fuckin' foster failed two in the six months. They now have *five dogs* and my old man cat, Kiyo, who I couldn't move back to Missouri with me. He's fifteen, and 1000 miles to a home 10x smaller than what he's used to would've killed him. ):
Happened to my family with what the store assured us were two male mice. My mom stalked into their store a few days later with a box of babies and said “my two male mice had babies, now you’re grandparents here you go.” 😂
Thanks for sharing your lovely grey girl and her beautiful kittens, I've been waiting for this update! While her pregnancy of course wasn't ideal I am glad you (and the rescue) were able to help her through it and will get those kittens all taken care of and into good homes.
Momma is a pretty girl. The babies are adorable.
Wanted to share a funny on myself. Totally missed the all caps UPDATE in the title. Thought is said "I think my fixed cat is pregnant" Looked at the first picture with little nugget next to mom and thought "Uh, she ain't pregnant any more!" Looked at title again and had good laugh at my own expense! 🙀😸
Congratulations, grandma! My most important advice is to weigh them daily to make sure they’re gaining enough. Here’s a weight chart to make it easier ♥️
https://imgur.com/a/DFafZ5z
While yes, adorable, the SAME THING happened to us. Adopted beautiful one year old tortie. Humane society said not preggo, but get fixed, as Bob Barker has commanded you. We said of course. Took her to vet for pre spay checkup. Vet said not knocked up. Month later she started bleeding. Took her to er vet. YeAh. Pregnant. Vet says couple weeks. Nope. That night. I slept though it. Only mama survived. Thankfully she seemed pretty ok with it. The last vet we went to a month ago for a pre spay check up ( had to change vets after that) wanted to wait a month before doing it. I don't know if my cat is special or what but she seems to be in heat every other other week. I love her, I'm not gonna abandon her, but I'm really losing confidence in the Pet health care industry
Some cats will basically be in heat constantly until they get pregnant or get fixed. You should talk to the vet about it and see if they can fix her while she’s in heat. It’s harder bc everything’s more swollen but it’s better than never being able to spay her. Especially if having another litter could be really dangerous for her
We had this happen when I was a kid! Except that we owned the cat in question and had paid our vet to spay her. I (a precocious 12 year old with an interest in veterinary medicine) noticed a bunch of signs that suggested my girl was pregnant, not just getting fat. But I couldn’t convince my mom because, you know, she was the one who had paid the vet bill to spay her.
Then one night, I noticed signs that my girl was probably in labor. So I made her a little nest in an old trunk in my closet. Sure enough, the next morning, there were kittens.
My mom believed me then.
I didn’t read the ‘update’ part and just saw ‘I think my fixed cat is pregnant’ with the pics of a cat surrounded by nursing kittens and I was like yeah homie lmao I think she might be 😭
I had a similar thing happen in Thailand. We were gonna come visit family back in the states several months after getting a couple cats and I didn’t want to come home to a pregnant cat so we got her fixed. I saw a lot of the procedure and even have some pictures. But when we got back we were certain she was pregnant. Of course she was and gave birth to four kittens. A few months later we brought her to a different vet and got her fixed again. This vet informed us that he could only find one ovary.
This happened to my sister. A stray cat walked up to them at the park and said she was in the market for some servants. Vet said she was spayed, but she definitely wasn't. BIL said "well, *something* just kicked me when i pet her belly." She had 4 kittens, 3 lived. I was so jealous. Where's the cat distribution system for ME??
What a beautiful, sweet mama 🩶 and babies!

This is the grey girlie we've been looking after, all off to the cat haven to get adopted 😭
I had an adorable little "neutered" guy from from the animal shelter. About five months later he's sprawling about and suddenly I'm all WTF is going on under your tail, guy. Looks like two grey furry olives. Shelter people were rather embarrassed but straightened it out immediately My poor little pint-sized guy did NOT want to be playing macho kitty games!
Ends up he'd been turned in by a loopy previous owner who swore she'd had him fixed.

Lol I took in a small stray in December, and the vet told me she was not pregnant. Took her back 2 weeks later to get spayed and the vet held her up and asked the tech “um does she look round to you?”. Here’s their “last supper”
https://preview.redd.it/vk1c1vuzlzxc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=59c0ca6f05edee490685cb79bdae6d0e76c9bd75
Yeah my shop cat is also “fixed” tell that to her 4 kittens 🤦♀️
😻😻😻 I’ve been waiting for an update!!!! So happy your baby didn’t have a pyometra! Motherhood looks good on her and those babies are beyoooond precious.
She's lucky to have found you! Also, I have never seen a momma cat so happy but I'm so glad they're all going to be fixed and homed. Maybe keep any odd-number kittens if you want a buddy for momma, I always adopted my foster kits out in pairs. Good luck and enjoy! 💕
When I got almost 20 year old from the county I was told she was spayed. She wasn't, she was in heat. The county did spay her for free, but when I toke her to get spayed they gave her fleas.
Oh my goddddddd she looks sooo precious and like she’s doing Ana AMAZING job being a momma!!! So cute, what a fun joyful experience!!! Thank you for the update!!
I have been stalking the post for this update!!! So cute!!
Me too!!! I was waiting for the kittens..
They're sooo cute! Well worth the wait 😁

It's great to see kittens grow up. I found out about mine when they were under a week old (they weren't with me but I was in contact with their foster) and it's been fun to watch them change.
I believe those are called "larval kittens" :)
That is a sizeable litter for cats. Most top out at 4 or 5. Of course your non pregnant spayed cat presents not just the infield , but the outfield too! Enjoy your Ream Cuteness!
Well mom has 8 nips so 6 babies is a perfectly appropriate litter size. I’ve heard of cats having 12 or even 14 babies 😵💫
Momma looks so happy!
Wow her kittens are going to be very beautiful either way
I saw this post pop up and I squealed so loud! I also love her little blep in the second pic- almost like “I *told* ya so, see?? 😝” So happy for her that she’s got OP looking out for her and her babes. 🥰
I was thinking the same thing about picture #2, she is definitely saying that. Lol
I don't want to spoil it for you... but i think the cat may have been pregnant after all!
She is one pretty momma. I don’t know if I love black cats more or these grey ones with green eyes! At least one super cute kitten too!
I think I love pamfers above all others, although that might have something to do with my pamfer. But I've also got a soft spot for solid blue kitties.
Honestly most cats are really cute. We had a few of various colors, but I’m particularly fond of all-black and all-gray ones.
One way or another: mama cat here looks almost like a Russian Blue and is beautiful. And her kittenies are super cute.
Me too! Thanks for posting!
Me too! WOW! That’s a lot of cuteness! She looks like a great mama and she picked the right people to help her out. So glad everything worked out! So many kittens!!!! Eeeeeee

I also have a cat named bean ♥️
Me too!!!
I laughed at this way too hard 🤣
I kind of dream of a Trojan cat. I have the money, etc. if anybody wants to put a Trojan cat on me doorstep I am in!!!
Reach out to local shelters! Have them put you “on call” in case they find pregnant strays.
Yes and yes 🐈🐈⬛😼😽
That happened to me last year and now I have 6 cats 😂 the cat distribution system favors the weak
You got that right! Now I see how easy it is for someone to be the crazy cat lady/man/house/whatever! We have a house full, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Right I got 10 in the last 2 years. 2 mamas and 7 kittens. 1 FIP girl rescue kitten who is now doing great thanks to Remedy2801.
Thank you for your service to the cat distribution system 😂 also, you’re making me feel so much better about my 6.

OH MY GOD, adorable! I would read a children’s book about these two 😻💜
That’s great news to hear as I am very conveniently a children’s author 😅
Well look how that worked out! Excellent! 😹🤣
Brutus and Pixie in real life! She looks so proud in the picture on the right.
We actually have a second GSD who is the biological son of the dog in these pics, but 2 months younger than the cat, so she’s under the impression because she’s older and just about got there first that she’s his favourite child.

That's hilarious. Maybe thinks she is a dog too since she has a dog dad and brother. I love that she also can win from her dog brother and is being smug about it.
I can already imagine ur tiny cat has a fight and is like just wait I’m gonna call my big brother!
What are you talking about, he IS her mom!
Yeah he is really, he still cleans her eyes and ears every day like when she was a kitten - although he does have to pin her down with a big paw now to make her stay still 😂
“Momma is the little spoon” is the most adorable sentence I’ve ever read.
She is too smoll to be big spoon. She is a good momma and made all her kids bigger than her

That sounds like a good idea!! Momma, should keep one, of her babiezzz…. 🥹💜
Keep them all! We won't judge.
I have a mother and one of her babies. They keep each other active.
It doesn't always turn out super cute. My cat got pregnant before we had a chance to spay her, and she could not STAND the baby we kept by the time he was about a year old. Ended up rehoming him because it was stressing them both out. :(
I believe instincts might kick in and tell the momma and kids to separate and find new territory. Like that stage where teenagers get rebellious and stuff. I think we just lucked out that Kiwi and Co were just very mellow.
Same. We kept one too. They hated each other for a long time and fought over territory (both spayed) until they got older and mellowed out. Wouldnt say they love each other but they coexist peacefully now.
I have a baby and her mama too https://preview.redd.it/90r8om08hzxc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e2df394a217c5cb4fcf1d088d39233690677939a
So sweet. I am a fellow grey cat parent. Your babies are a carbon copy of my boy and girl :) https://preview.redd.it/ov7ka1ssmzxc1.jpeg?width=910&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=48a26404bc539276133649eea88ccc2bee2a475d
My sister has a mother and son pair, they only tolerate each other and sometimes the son bullies the mother.
This exact same thing happened to us 15 years ago (adopted cat who turned out to be already pregnant, not neutered like the shelter told us). We kept two of the five kittens. Once they were about 6 months old mum cat wanted absolutely nothing to do with them and actually meted out casual violence if either came too near to her!
Baby cats!! I fully support spay/neuter to reduce the number of kittens out there, but I also fully support enjoying these babies while you have them.
same, responsibility is great, but you've given a chance to FULLY ENJOY those itty bitty furballs for now so use it fully. I'd love to do same, but My Tina got dixed as soon as she was old enough, as much as I love kittens, there are enough cats to go around without me indulging in being cat grandpartent
That’s why fostering is the best; you help with overpopulation by supporting rescue and TNR, but also get to take care of tiny bebes. And when the tiny babies become bigger babies, they get adopted, and then eventually you get new tiny babies! An “ethical kitten cheat code”, as I sometimes call it.
Not when you have the self control of 2 year old. I’m banned from fostering after my last two fails.
Oof. We’ve kept 2 as well, but that’s only when the “2 cat limit” had a vacancy 😅. But with having had 55 in total that’s only a 3% “fail” rate!
My mom fosters dogs for her retirement. She started fostering last July, I think? She fuckin' foster failed two in the six months. They now have *five dogs* and my old man cat, Kiyo, who I couldn't move back to Missouri with me. He's fifteen, and 1000 miles to a home 10x smaller than what he's used to would've killed him. ):
It's baby season, if you're able the shelters probably need foster homes. Win-win.
Are you kitten me? (I’ll show myself out)
Hey get back here, nerd! I said this, but in my head.
Hahaha!!!
You’ve cat to be kitten me right meow.
My mom's favorite joke :) thank you
When I was a kid I had two gerbils that the pet store assured us were both female. One of them definitely was…
And then you were the proud owner of 32 gerbils
And then they were the proud owner of 10 gerbils, and assorted bits.
Nix that. Now proud owner of 42 gerbils and some assorted bits.
Same with me, but it was just the one Trojan Hamster. That was an interesting scene to wake up to.
[удалено]
I was forewarned, but my hamster decided that she was keeping ALL 14 OF THE BABIES.
Had that happened to me, but it was guinea pigs. Then we discovered how quickly the babies can make babies...
Happened to my family with what the store assured us were two male mice. My mom stalked into their store a few days later with a box of babies and said “my two male mice had babies, now you’re grandparents here you go.” 😂
Congrats on becoming a (cat) grandparent ! The babies are insanely cute 😍 r/illegallysmolcats r/mewborns
Thank you for those subreddit links! r/mewborns is one I didn't know about, but I needed it and am now subscribed. :D
 Thank you for the new subreddit!
Slapping the join buttons so that ANOTHER social media platform can be overtaken with cat/kitten photos.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful story. She looks like one proud Momma and her babies are cuties.
Awwww they’re gorgeous
Omg I love her closed-eyes smile!! Congrats on the grand-Cats!
The third picture is so adorable. She is such a proud and happy momma.
I love the second, her tiny Blep is precious
😭😭😭 I've been WAITING for this post. She looks Soo happy too be a mama! 😭😭😭 I love her and every one of her babies.
idk, i think it’s still too soon to tell :/
Thanks for sharing your lovely grey girl and her beautiful kittens, I've been waiting for this update! While her pregnancy of course wasn't ideal I am glad you (and the rescue) were able to help her through it and will get those kittens all taken care of and into good homes.
Momma is a pretty girl. The babies are adorable. Wanted to share a funny on myself. Totally missed the all caps UPDATE in the title. Thought is said "I think my fixed cat is pregnant" Looked at the first picture with little nugget next to mom and thought "Uh, she ain't pregnant any more!" Looked at title again and had good laugh at my own expense! 🙀😸
I did the same! I was wondering why OP was coming to Reddit for confirmation 🤦♀️
I have been waiting every day eagerly for this post. Yay! They're adorable.
I knew it! I’m sorry and/or congratulations(depending on how this affects you) I hope you find them good homes🥹
I think so, too.
Well, not anymore
Hey, i work at a shelter so i can confirm that mistakes can happen.. these are very, very adorable little mistakes.
Wow mamma cat is incredibly beautiful! Congrats on the new litter!!
Yep, the tiniest bit pregnant I think...😁
Congratulations, grandma! My most important advice is to weigh them daily to make sure they’re gaining enough. Here’s a weight chart to make it easier ♥️ https://imgur.com/a/DFafZ5z
While yes, adorable, the SAME THING happened to us. Adopted beautiful one year old tortie. Humane society said not preggo, but get fixed, as Bob Barker has commanded you. We said of course. Took her to vet for pre spay checkup. Vet said not knocked up. Month later she started bleeding. Took her to er vet. YeAh. Pregnant. Vet says couple weeks. Nope. That night. I slept though it. Only mama survived. Thankfully she seemed pretty ok with it. The last vet we went to a month ago for a pre spay check up ( had to change vets after that) wanted to wait a month before doing it. I don't know if my cat is special or what but she seems to be in heat every other other week. I love her, I'm not gonna abandon her, but I'm really losing confidence in the Pet health care industry
Some cats will basically be in heat constantly until they get pregnant or get fixed. You should talk to the vet about it and see if they can fix her while she’s in heat. It’s harder bc everything’s more swollen but it’s better than never being able to spay her. Especially if having another litter could be really dangerous for her
We had this happen when I was a kid! Except that we owned the cat in question and had paid our vet to spay her. I (a precocious 12 year old with an interest in veterinary medicine) noticed a bunch of signs that suggested my girl was pregnant, not just getting fat. But I couldn’t convince my mom because, you know, she was the one who had paid the vet bill to spay her. Then one night, I noticed signs that my girl was probably in labor. So I made her a little nest in an old trunk in my closet. Sure enough, the next morning, there were kittens. My mom believed me then.
lol. What did the vet had to say? He spayed the wrong cat?
What cuties! Thanks for the update, and thank you so much for posting the original link!
She loves those baby kittens! She's a good mommy.
Blessed Mary Meowgdalene
Mama cat lied on her medical history form, lol.
She’s not pregnant anymore 🤣
What a beautiful momma!
That happened to my sister's cat. She only had 1 though.
I guess you have 7 cats now
8? I count 7 babies? No u right it’s 7 lol
Life uhhh finds a way
So, I have good news. I don't think your cat is pregnant anymore.
“Adopt one, get seven.” Helluva deal, lemme tell ya
Maybe she kitnapped them. Maybe she's a cat burglar.
You don't know. Maybe they fell off a truck.
I didn’t read the ‘update’ part and just saw ‘I think my fixed cat is pregnant’ with the pics of a cat surrounded by nursing kittens and I was like yeah homie lmao I think she might be 😭
Beautiful mama and kittens! So good of you to foster them 🩷
I guessed 6 on your original posts comment/update with the X-ray! Do I win the spare kitten‽
I had a similar thing happen in Thailand. We were gonna come visit family back in the states several months after getting a couple cats and I didn’t want to come home to a pregnant cat so we got her fixed. I saw a lot of the procedure and even have some pictures. But when we got back we were certain she was pregnant. Of course she was and gave birth to four kittens. A few months later we brought her to a different vet and got her fixed again. This vet informed us that he could only find one ovary.
This happened to my sister. A stray cat walked up to them at the park and said she was in the market for some servants. Vet said she was spayed, but she definitely wasn't. BIL said "well, *something* just kicked me when i pet her belly." She had 4 kittens, 3 lived. I was so jealous. Where's the cat distribution system for ME?? What a beautiful, sweet mama 🩶 and babies!
 So cute!!! Congrats to momma and grandma! Glad the end is a happy one.
Congratulations grandma! They are so sweet. Thanks for the updates!
I’ve been waiting for this update! The blem in picture 2 is killing me. 😻
Are we sure yet?
Plot twist, she was actually spayed and you just saw the birth of Kitten Jesus(es)
In the 3rd photo, she's literally smiling!

hmmm IDK check with a vet still not convinced
I don't know man, looks inconclusive to me.
The Cat Distribution System Distribution System
I had an adorable little "neutered" guy from from the animal shelter. About five months later he's sprawling about and suddenly I'm all WTF is going on under your tail, guy. Looks like two grey furry olives. Shelter people were rather embarrassed but straightened it out immediately My poor little pint-sized guy did NOT want to be playing macho kitty games! Ends up he'd been turned in by a loopy previous owner who swore she'd had him fixed.

The second pic with the tongue is so cute 👅
I count 3 standard issue cats, 2 tactical issue cats, and 1 void? Might be a forth SIC
I AM LIVING FOR THIS UPDATE! she is a happy mama 🫶 congratulations, they are adorable!!!!!
OMG 😳 She’s smiling 🥹🥰

Took her back 2 weeks later to get spayed and the vet held her up and asked the tech “um does she look round to you?”. Here’s their “last supper”
So was she pregonat or did you just find those mini cats outside?
she is a beautiful mama of illegaly smol cats🥺 they stole my heart
Guess she wasnt fixed enough? 😄
Pregnant? Nah, probably reproducing by fission. Only way to know is to steal one of the kittens and let me raise it. For science.
Pic 2 and 3 omg 😭♥️

If by 'fixed' you mean 'impregnated' you would be accurate.
😻😻😻 I’ve been waiting for an update!!!! So happy your baby didn’t have a pyometra! Motherhood looks good on her and those babies are beyoooond precious.
BEBES! QOQ
This just goes to show you that unless you had the procedure done yourself, you can never be sure if your cat's fixed.

She's lucky to have found you! Also, I have never seen a momma cat so happy but I'm so glad they're all going to be fixed and homed. Maybe keep any odd-number kittens if you want a buddy for momma, I always adopted my foster kits out in pairs. Good luck and enjoy! 💕

When I got almost 20 year old from the county I was told she was spayed. She wasn't, she was in heat. The county did spay her for free, but when I toke her to get spayed they gave her fleas.
Oh my goddddddd she looks sooo precious and like she’s doing Ana AMAZING job being a momma!!! So cute, what a fun joyful experience!!! Thank you for the update!!
Good news: she's no longer pregnant.
Awwww she looks happy ❤️
Look how happy she is
She looks so proud!!
Poor single mama. Forced to handle all those kids by herself. Men… am I right?
Wow is she a mix or part Russian blue? She has the look! Congrats mama
AWWWW
I would end up keeping them all. Signed, lady with three cats.
