Pregnant stray cat appears to inform hoomans she’s chosen their home to have kittens, and while she didn’t appreciate their nonoptional bath, she did enjoy the XL cat bed her new pawrents put by the fireplace to keep her babies warm

When you open your door to the sounds of meowing you never quite know what it is that you are going to get. Sometimes it is two cats fighting over who knows what. Other times it is your run of the mill hungry catto looking to use you for a quick meal and maybe a cuddle if you are lucky. But then there are those times when the meow comes from an actual catto in need. And in that moment will you answer their call like these pawrents did? Or will you let it go to voicemail?

It is a big question, there is no doubt. You are being asked to shoulder the burden of an animal whom you struggle to communicate with, who can be testy, scratchy and bitey at times and who you really do not know all too well. But we like to believe that this call is one that we hoomans have to answer. While we did not build our world this way, we have to take responsibility for the hoomans before us who did. So when an animal comes to you, you help them to make up for their predecessors who were forced out of their homes in what was once the wild.

Which is why we are proud to present this clip as a shining example of what it looks like when someone sees an animal that they can help and steps up to the plate. They do not think twice, they do not grumble about the burden. They simply want the best for this baby and will do whatever it takes to make this happen.

    While we cannot fully agree with this, there is a good chance this cat momma has gotten too big and tired to keep up with her regular maintenance.

    She was so dirty and really needed a bath

    Another thing she could have picked up while not having the energy to properly care for herself.

    Ah, all cats look just about the same when they get betrayed by the bath tub. It’s quite impressive actually.

    Look at her using the many hundreds of muscles in her ears to openly ignore her hoomans and plot her revenge.

    She was already plotting to run away after this torture

    Lucky that cats are quick to forget and forgive. Well, forget more than forgive…

    But she quickly forgave us after she experienced her first cat bed warmed by the fire
