Person Kindly Lets Cat In During The Rain, Turns Away For One Second, And Suddenly, The Cat Gives Birth To 6 Kittens

Cats are independent creatures. That is a well-known fact. It is a rare thing for a cat to call for help from humans. They prefer to do things on their own, to not be bothered or annoyed - to do what they want when they want to however they want to do it. So, for cats to actually ask for help from a human… something has to be wrong. We've seen many cats and kittens at this point ask for help from humans outside when they were sick or in pain, and we have seen cats sneak into people's houses to give birth, but we have never seen quite what happened to this person.

The cat in this thread made use of someone's innocence, that's our perspective. This cat pretended that it simply did not want to be outside while it was raining. Little did her rescuer know that this cat who came into her home for seemingly simple reasons… was on the verge of giving birth.

Oh, how innocently this story started… Just someone kind wanting to do a kind thing for a kitty. But you should have known. When cats do this - when they simply walk into your home even though it's totally weird for them to do it, it's one of two things: they're either looking to get adopted, or they're about to give birth.

We appreciate the panicked updates throughout this thread. And we appreciate this person doing their best to take care of the cats and kittens until a decision is made about what to do with them all. It might not have been the most purrfect handling of the situation, but it's the effort that counts.
