After you learn a thing or two about cats, you find yourself assuming certain things about cute felines you meet along your journey of life.

For example, that beautiful calico you see every day on your way to work is probably a girl, because you learned that cats with more than two colors on their fur are 99.9% females. You also know that the very pregnant momma cat you helped probably has more than one baby daddy, after you saw the beautiful collection of different-colored kittens in her litter. 

You might also assume that most orange cats you see are male, because only 20% of them are not. So it might not cross your mind that the sweet orange stray you've been seeing hanging out in your backyard is actually a very pregnant female cat. 

Which is exactly what happened to the wholesome family in the story below.
