So how did it all start? Well, the couple lives in a neighborhood that is filled with stray cats. One specific cat, happened to really take a liking to Jimmy, and it just so happened she was also pregnant.Jimmy's wife however, did not approve. She insisted that the cat not be allowed in the house. Jimmy however, couldn't just leave her in the streets. So despite his wife's wishes, he let the cat stay in his shed in the backyard!

Although Jimmy was very low key and keep things on the down low, Jimmy's wife eventually found out about the kittens and their mom in the shed. She even softened for them when she realized that they were here to stay.

"She's okay with them staying there until they're old enough to have new homes," Syl said. The couple is still looking and acting lovey-dovey even after Jimmy basically "lied" to his wife. Syl posted pictures of them via twitter.

Jimmy has stated that the kittens and their mother are doing just fine!
