Woman rescues overly fluffy white stray, then the next day, she ends up with a stash of secret silky kittens she never saw coming: 'You fell victim to one of the classic blunders'

She thought she did a singular good deed when the woman below saved this very "fluffy" street cat, but it turns out she actually did six by saving her and her 5 surprise kittens.

Saving a cat in need is always a good thing to do. You're changing that cat's life fur good - you're taking it from a life of uncertainty and fear to a life of comfort and cuddles. But you can never be truly sure of a stray's history, or what you're really getting yourself into when you take them into your home. They might be shy and fearful for life, or they might be purrfectly friendly from the get-go. Or, they might be secretly pregnant and give birth the very next day.

We call this phenomenon a "Trojan cat". When a stray cat crawls its way into your heart, convinces you to adopt it, and before you know it, gives birth in your home to a litter of kittens. It's a purrfectly appropriate metaphor, and much cuter than the original Trojan horse. That's exactly what happened below - a woman saved a street cat and, two days later, it popped out a stash of secret kittens right on her carpet.

What a blessing it is to make a cat feel safe enough to have its kittens in your house. Sure, it's definitely a shock, and a lot of work, but not only did you she the momma cat a chance at having a good life, she definitely saved these kittens. The survival rate of young stray kittens is very low, and the odds of them finding families to adopt them are even lower. But, because of her, they most certainly will. Read more by scrolling down!

There's actually a reason for this, and it's because cats can get pregnant very often. A cat can go into heat every 2-3 weeks, and that will continue until she gets pregnant. This is why it's important to spay and neuter your cats, unless you want them to be looking to be a mom every month for the rest of their lives. We don't need more stray cats in this world, so do us all a favor and get them fixed, please? Thanks.

This meme is from The Princess Bride, one of the best movies of all time. It's our mom's favorite movie, and our favorite movie as well. It's about a woman who falls in love with her farmhand, who then joins a group of pirates to make money for their wedding. He gets lots at sea, and she gets chosen by the prince of her kingdom to be his queen when he takes the throne. We won't spoil it all for you, but what we will say is that this movie is so good, it's inconceivable!
