Some cats come by surprise; some cats come with surprises.

They're just funny like that at the Cat Distribution System, they apparently like pranks and surprises. Yes, normally they'd send out a cat in need to the arms of a trusted hooman for a foster or adoption. It's literally what they do (we think… nobody actually knows what they do, this meowsterious bunch). But every once in a while, they won't just make you hear a kitten in the bushes, or have a cat running towards you, meowing profusely. But sometimes, it's not the unexpected adoption plans that suddenly land on an unsuspected pawrent-to-be - sometimes, the cats themselves come full of surprises. Literally.

This cat came with three little surprises inside her. The CDS sent a cat to be adopted, and she turned out to be four different felines. Don't worry - all cats found a forever home. But you see, this is the nature of a Trojan mama - they come in seeking help, as any sweet stray would, but they actually seek help for their future kittens. And that's absolutely adorable. It's also a lot of work for any pawrent, either deciding to keep the bunch or making sure the entire Trojan load has a home. Either way - it's more cute cats with a roof above their heads, which makes us very happy.

  • First of all, look at that blink. That slow, deep blink this cat mama is giving towards the human. That's not accidental - that's the highest sign of trust one can get from a cat. Well, at least one of the highest. But combine that with the fact that she chose to break into their house to give birth inside? Now it says even a lot more.

    When a cat blinks at you, so slowly and deeply enough you can snap a picture of it, they're saying: “I trust you so much, hooman, that I'm willing to let all of my visual defences go in the presence of you. I see no escape routes, I can't run to safety, but that's because I put all of my safety in your hands. I can safely close my eyes around you, because I know you will defend me, you will protect me from danger. My life is safe around you, and I will slow blink to prove it to you.”

    Once you have the honour of witnessing a cat - and a pregnant one, no less - slow blinking at you, you can definitely know you are 100% trustworthy in their closed eyes.

    Ok_Nothing_9733 Cats are so funny, I really wonder what possesses them to trust random humans when they need help, or to realize "hey I know ya got warmth in there SO LET ME IN"

    Psychobabble0_0 Clever squatter. You can't leave your house unattended these days, even for a holiday. It's legally hers now. She has rights.

    Glittering Grass_214 I think cats are great observers. They observe body language very carefully, and approach people with the friendliest/least threatening body language. So they don't actually choose at random. They choose sincerely good humans. Being chosen by a cat is the best feeling ever. Congrats, OP. Your new family members are all adorable

    NoPoet3982 Of course they trust their servants. They know we're grateful we let them live in their houses.

    stustue not sure how true this is, but i watched a cat fact video on yt that said domesticated cats are wired to have relationships with humans. it's like part of their genetics or something. maybe that's why is happens so often.

    No-Win-2741 I live in florida. During the hurricanes in 2024, I had mama show up. One showed up just before debbie. Another showed up just before helene. And the third one showed up just before milton. So within the span of about 6 weeks, I got three litters of kittens in the house! And my house is not big, I live in a mobile home. I think ultimately it ended up being 11 or 13 kittens. It was insane. There are pics and everything on my profile. Just look for the posts about the hurricane kittens

    My point in sharing that story, is that cats know where the good folks are. And they're going to come to you. Be warned. ETA: thank you, kind redditor, for the award. It was not necessary but I'm grateful.

    Nervardia No win 2741? I think after that story, you're absolutely winning! At least at the cat lottery.

    Pavica Malic A stray stole a steak from our barbecue, then brought us her kittens a day later. She disappeared before we could have her spayed and then returned pregnant. The whole house (renters and resident landlord) cared for those kittens, and split the vet bills.
