Abandoned by neighbors, stray cat finds her hooman at the purrfect moment when a kind soul gives her a home to deliver her kittens: ‘She climbed up beside me and went into labor’

Sometimes, the Cat Distribution System brings you a gift, and that gift has 6 other gifts inside it. Those gifts, of course, are a momma cat and her kittens.

Did you know that a cat can get pregnant roughly every 2-3 weeks during her heat? Now do you understand why there are so many stray cats wandering the streets? This is why it's so important to spay and neuter your cats because, if left unchecked, they can end up having multiple litters per year and increase the stray cat population exponentially. We won't lie, the numbers are shocking, and there's only one way to fix it - getting your cats fixed and helping TNR other local cats to help curb the population.

And yet, despite all of our best efforts, there are still many pregnant cats wandering the street, like Salt. She was abandoned by neighbors earlier this year and wandered the streets looking for a kind soul to take her in. But, as the CDS would have it, she found one at just the right meowment. She found a cat lover who let her inside, and within a week, she climbed up onto their lap and started birthing her kittens.

She made six healthy kittens, but only one had a tail! The tailless gene in cats comes with some undesirable symptoms, so it's crucial that this new pawrent will take these kittens to the vet to get them checked up ASAP. But for now, they're all safe at home, enjoying their littermates, momma, and new hooman.

This is a classic "be careful what you wish for" kind of situation. When you ask for some more feline energy in your life, the CDS might just hear you and bring you a pregnant kitty that brings you more cute kitten energy than you could ever hope for (or prepare for).

At this age, all kittens do is eat, sleep, and scream, and you can see them doing all three of those things in this post! They're so cute and fluffy now, like big kiwis with very strong opinions. What we would give to have a couple of cute kittens like that now. But just wait a few months and they'll be little miscreants making our lives beyond chaotic with all their shenanigans.

Before doing our research while writing this post, we didn't know that tailless cats were at risk for several physical factors. The lack of tail can cause their spine to not develop properly, as well as for them to develop hip or gastrointestinal problems. Who knew a tail did so much?
