Cat just had kitten help

Please don't flame me I'm here for advice.

My 'house' cat has just given birth to 1 kitten, I did not know she was expecting, no real weight gain and she is a longhair so has disguised this well. The 1s

The mother is very pretty. I'm tempted to let DCat have kittens but suspect I'd end up with 4 cats. One is enough.

Our last pregnant stray had six. Are you ready to be a seven-cat household?

Yes!!!! 🤣😂🤣😆

@GuppytheCat , no. One is just right.

GuppytheCat · 16/08/2023 18:22

Best get her neutered then! As this thread shows, tomcats are no respecters of your plans.

twoandcooplease · 16/08/2023 19:24

Op please please can I come and play with your kittens!!! They're absolutely adorable!

Story for you - this is the same question I asked my neighbour (and mums friend) who's cat had kittens when I was 9. I visited them every day and when they were 6 weeks my mum had a call from her friend... "please could you ask twoandcoo to bring the kitten home" ... my mum found me cuddled with the kitten on my bed. 4 weeks later he was officially mine!! ❤️

Ooooh look at them!!! The little tortie must be mine cos she’s looking at me Grin

KirstenBlest · 19/08/2023 15:13

She's looking at me, @Soubriquet

Soubriquet · 19/08/2023 15:13

Pfffft. It’s definitely me

HalloumiHo · 19/08/2023 15:15

Just saw this but omg they are so beautiful!🥰

KirstenBlest · 19/08/2023 15:16

@GuppytheCat , I had a feeling that DCat had started to look rather large of abdomen and one day, she got up, had some breakfast, used the litter tray then disappeared. I now have three cats. The kittens are 3 days old. They were HUGE. How on earth they managed to get out of the cat, I don't know.

CuteCillian · 19/08/2023 15:18

Oh my goodness! What stunners, I wonder what the father was like.

KirstenBlest · 19/08/2023 15:19

I know the rules.

I did the same at a similar age! Mum and dad knew nothing about it until local farmer's wife called and said, "Runner's kitten's are ready!"

We never did find out whether I really did 'book' them or Kittygran decided to rehome them with me, but I did carry them around wrapped in a hanky when my dad was there helping them with the harvest!!!

They're just gorgeous!! I would love a kitten but couldn't cope with the wreckage in my house! Adopted 2 tortie/white girls aged 2 and 5 - been here a year and a half and the younger one (who's long-haired; they are both gorgeous) is a complete nutcase - think kitten but too heavy to climb the curtains!

I know the rules.

They're big kittens!! Just lovely. Enjoy!

Gettingbysomehow · 19/08/2023 15:43

I'd keep them all. My son came over with a kitten 2 years ago jet black. Can you have this he said knowing FULL WELL I am unable to say no when shown its little face. It's coming up to her 2nd birthday.
His neighbours cat got pregnant by mistake and they didn't know how they were going to find homes for them all so my DS found good homes for them.

GolgafrinchamB · 19/08/2023 15:46

This thread is a delight

Floralnomad · 19/08/2023 15:49

They are absolutely gorgeous, I’d be keeping them all .

KirstenBlest · 19/08/2023 15:56

@Runnerinthenight , I'm not allowed near them. That photo was taken today. They were born on Wednesday.

SoCentralRain · 19/08/2023 15:56

Too many cute kittens 😻

I'll be over to pick them up later, ok OP? 😜

3 days old? They are enormous.

KirstenBlest · 19/08/2023 16:17

The mother isn't very big. How on earth did she squeeze them out?

IcakethereforeIam · 19/08/2023 17:58

Thank you, everyone who's posted pictures. Please keep them coming. I'm begging!
