One of our biggest nightmares, as cat owners, is losing our cats. That's how it's always been, and that's how it'll always be. Yes, we have all seen those emotional reunions between cats and their owners, and we have all thought that those heartwarming reunions were adorable, and we all shed tears of joy, and we swear, we hope it never happens to us. What a nightmare. 

Even when we read about it happening to other people, we feel the panic. Because listen… we know that our cats are spoiled as heck, and there is no chance that they could survive out there for long without us feeling them their very special and expensive diet and wrapping them up in their very specific fluffy blankets. So, when we came across the story that you're about to read, we could only say thank you to the universe that we came across it after it had been updated.

    The panic that we would have felt… There is no horror quite like the one of losing your pet. We have been there, we know the pain. So, to think of that feeling, multiplied by five, multiplied by the fact that they are itty bitty newborns… yeah, we would have gone mad.

    my cat gave birth to five kittens about a week ago. i've been weighing them regularly, making sure they're ok and healthy. (dont worry im gonna spay my cat soon, i couldn't afford it before but now i have enough)i weighed them one last time, then went to sleep. then 4 hours later i woke up to my sister telling me, "the kittens are all gone, where did they go?" and i looked inside the box my cat nested them in, and they're not there.

    We have to say that we are so glad we saw this story after it got its final update, because we don't know how we would have handled not knowing what happened to these little guys. And we are so happy that they are all okay, even if you found them in one of the silliest places pawssible.

    i assumed the mama must've placed the kittens somewhere else for safety, so i literally turned the house upside down looking under every couch, closet, pile of clothes, everywhere. not one found. i can't even hear any distant meowing. my cat is going about her day, chilling and laying down, asking for food and such. she found the box where the kittens once were and she was sniffing it. she also meows at me every now and then. i was waiting to follow her, see where she might've placed them. but s

    I'm so so confused. did she eat them? should i keep looking? it feels like i'm in the twilight zone. i'm very upset because i was committed to taking care of these babies with her but now they just vanished. i have a huge heart for cats so this is making me feel awful.

    i don't have any other pets, i don't let her go outdoors either. it's unlikely she ate them because the towel in the box they usually sleep in is completely unstained and smells fresh since i changed it last night (i expected there would be some blood if she ate them). my dad tells me he fed her this morning and didn't hear any meowing or kittens meowing so he doubted she was carrying them around.

    UPDATE!!!: FOUND THEM! after 17 hours, theres this closet near the laundry room nobody really touches, its just fancy decorations/comforters/items for when guests come over. its usually open because my mom sometimes grabs something and forgets to close it. i was looking for mama cat cause she was meowing for food earlier, then noticed she was staring at the closet. my sister was there and told me "shes been staring at that for a while. just look through it, i dont think they're there but worth a

    huddled up sleeping in a very tight corner, i had to remove this heavy box of holiday decorations, i don't know how she got in there! my parents woke up to me and my sister squealing. then they both playfully punched my arm cause i was the one accusing them for secretly taking the kittens LOL you guys were so right about how cats can hide in the most tightest and unknown spots, i did not expect them to be there. thank you all so much for the advice and support! it means so much! i'm so relieved

    aimeegaberseck. 1 mo. ago Yay! I'm so glad you found them. Just wanted to mention that mama may have moved them because you have been picking them up too much. Some mama cats aren't comfortable with people messing with her newborns. Once their eyes are open and they're moving around it's okay, but when they're tiny, please respect new mamas wishes. She's telling you she wants her privacy when she

    hides them like that. It's no different than all the human mamas who want the first few weeks without visitors coming and passing the baby around. and come on Reddit complaining about their families not respecting their wish to have no visitors right away. Something to think about.

    PinkFurLookinLikeCam. 1 mo. ago Yup this is what it's like. Mom will hiss or attack, or just monitor and babysit if someone is holding their baby. Once baby can walk, play, eat solids- they relax. My oldests mom made a fort in the bathroom and huddled up on her babies 24/7, barely had time to chill because the house had 4 other cats and a small miniature teacup dog. She wasn't having it lol hissed at everyone.
