Today, the cat I rescued out of the rain unexpectedly gave birth under my couch. Realistically, I know there’s no way to keep six cats but every time I think about separating the babies from their mom and litter-mates, I sob uncontrollably to the point of hyperventilating. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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 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
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, my cat had the bright idea of giving birth in the dryer, on top of all my new white towels. 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 witnessed the miracle of life. More specifically, my cat giving birth on my bed at four in the morning. FML
Today, I showed my 5-year-old son a photo with a ginger cat and her 6 newborn kittens. I forgot to tell my son the cat mom is not the male ginger cat at home, despite them looking exactly same. His excitement became deep sorrow and a tantrum when he figured out that we didn't get half a dozen kittens. FML
Today, I was over at a friend's house feeding her cats while she was on vacation. After feeding the four of them, I found an extra cat under the sofa. Thinking it was an intruding stray, I kicked it out. She actually has 5 cats. FML
Today, my cat went into labor. This is surprising since 6 years ago, we paid to have her spayed. FML

That's because they're way too young to be separated. Wait two months before even thinking about giving away the kittens. You'll feel better and they will too.

Also, it makes it easier if you adopt them out in pairs , as it helps them acclimate to the new surroundings with the new owner easier. We adopted two black cats that were the last of their litter and they adjusted relatively quick, but considering the fact that your cat that you rescued just had kittens it’s going to be a while but downside if you keep all of them and get a kennel license is the amount of neutering cost you’re going to get because you definitely don’t want them breeding with each other They get expensive to take care of. I have five cats and holy crap. They consume a lot of money. I have two that do have some medical issues and all five of my cats are rescue cats. One of them was right off the street and was a mama that we captured and her kittens were rescued by somebody else after we rescued the mama. The fact that you rescued her, probably meant that her kittens have a fighting chance to survive where is the one that we rescued if we hadn’t posted about on next-door her kittens likely would’ve passed away and so she would have to because she was extremely emaciated and they can’t protect their kittens when they’re exposed to the elements and everything out there so feel good about that but eventually the cats will want to wander once they get old enough and it makes it easier to get them adopted out because they’re gonna try to make their own way. It’s just a natural thing with animals. Just take care of them the best you can.
