Today, I had to babysit both my neighbor's 3-year-old daughter and my very pregnant cat. I left the room briefly, only to come back to a traumatized 3-year-old crying in horror as my cat gave birth in front of her. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I witnessed the miracle of life. More specifically, my cat giving birth on my bed at four in the morning. FML
Today, I was snuggling with my neighbors four week old kitten while babysitting their kids. I fell asleep, rolled over, and woke up next to a dead kitten. FML
Today, I got a new cat. It was fine for a couple of hours until it gave birth in my kitchen. The seller claims to have no idea that it was pregnant. Now I have to take care of 7 cats instead of 2. FML
Today, I had my girlfriend over to meet my parents. After dinner, we were in the living room talking. My dad thought it would be funny to grab our cat, stick it down his shirt, then pretend to give birth to it, with sound effects. FML
Today, I woke up in the middle of the night to my cat meowing, with her dilated vagina in my face, giving birth to her first litter of kittens. FML
Today, I came home to find that my pregnant cat had given birth to a stillborn kitten in practically every room of the house. She had then rubbed her butt around the house, leaving bloody stains everywhere. When I tried to clean the white carpet, the bleach turned it green. FML
Today, I took in an old friend’s fat cat for a month until she finds a place to live. Turns out the cat isn’t fat, just pregnant. I found out when I found two of her dead kittens in my living room. FML
Today, I yelled at my boyfriend's cat for staring at me, then cried about it for an hour. Pregnancy life. FML
Today, I was babysitting my neighbour's six hamsters. My cat got in the room and opened the cage. I came home to no hamsters in sight and a very satisfied looking cat. FML
Today, I ran into my infant daughter's room because I thought I heard her crying, and found she was still sound asleep in her crib. The screams were coming from the mouse our cat was using to paint her bedroom walls. FML

If only it was your neighbor's cat instead, you could've multiplied your rates with each kitten that popped out.

Give her the first kitten that came out and see how she reacts

And now the momma cat has a story to tell her children when they grow up.

#27, you regularly attended births or something? Seems a bit unprofessional, even on "bring your child to work day"

29- my dads a general practitioner and used to take me on rounds. Seen everything from births to a kid who hit a van going down Market Hill on a skateboard having his scalp sewn back on. That's a sight a 5 year old will never forget...

I'm sure she'll forget it soon. When I was 4 I had the joy of helping birth goat triplets. I went home crying until my mom turned on cartoons and I forgot all about it

You obviously did not forget about it.

yet you remember it..

Or the mom has told them that story several times.

Oh me next! I have a "cute" story, too...... When I was 4, I had the joy of seeing my dog kill my kitten in front of me. I ran inside crying.... more like freaking the hell out and rocked in the fetal position for hours. Not exactly something cartoons could cure. In any case, witnessing raw birth or death... not something forgettable... especially to someone young that doesn't necessarily understand what they're seeing.

Get your cat fixed!

what is with everyone saying OP should their cat spayed? They dont have to if they dont want to. They have the right to live their lives the way they want to. Its not like getting their cat spayed now will "fix" the problem though...the cat already gave birth to her litter.

What's with all the downvotes to 39? Did no one learn from Bob Barker!? "Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered!"

#83 Yeah but getting the cat fixed now would prevent future litters. Because unless OP has purebred animals she breeds to better the breed, it's irresponsible to breed when there are so many animals living in shelters.

#87 That is your opinion. People need to stop trying to force their beliefs onto everyone else.

Cat birthing (or any kind of birthing) doesn't happened that fast. OP would have had to be out of the room quite a awhile. Cats also take a lot of time to find a spot, they get panicking and meowy, for a good ten minutes before anything even starts to "pop out. "What concerns me is how long OP left a three year old alone for.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Couldn't have been "briefly."
Brandi_Faith 34
I'm sure there are exceptions. There is the possibility that Op left the room for a long time, or it's also possible that the cat either delivered extremely fast or didn't show any warning signs. I'm sure if you were to google the fastest birth you would find something crazy. There are always exceptions to the norm. Of course there's also the possibility that the whole story was made up too. I wouldn't just deny the whole thing as possible right away; unlikely maybe.
