    Me and my roommate had been trying to lure this stray inside for a few months now and she'd never give in to our food offerings. One day she ran right behind us through our front door and

    She decided under the sink was gonna be her safe space for the kids so we gave them some padding with some of our old clothes and they seem pretty

    comfortable. We've never kept chemicals under this sink so I feel pretty safe about them being there but we're in kind of a shitty apartment so the hygiene worries me a little bit. We've tried to

    relocate them to some cleaner areas but she always brings the kids back here We're moving out somewhere much nicer at the end of the month with a bit more space too though.

    Cat distribution system works in strange ways, you think you're getting one and you end up with five lol. I have my own cat so we have 6 total now. My roommates cat recently passed away (RIP

    It's a little intimidating having the sole responsibility of 4 kittens, I've been doing my research on how to care for them but it's still scary. I'd appreciate some insight from some people who have dealt with newborn kittens before and know more than us currently

    Inc_5103 Congratulations on your trojan cat and littles!! Thank you for taking care of them.

  • This is the ultimate Trojan horse move. Walk in acting like one sweet little stray, gain everyone’s trust, get comfortable, and then suddenly there are four tiny surprises included in the deal. No one saw it coming, but it all worked out perfectly in the end. Honestly, a pretty smart plan if you think about it, and now the house is a whole lot fuller because of it.

    Like-a-Boat I love it with calico cats have kittens that seem to have each chosen a color.

  • Each kitten getting its own color just works out perfectly. It’s like a full little variety pack, all different but somehow matching at the same time. You’ve got the whole set, no duplicates, just a lineup of tiny personalities already showing through. Makes it so much easier to tell them apart and somehow even cuter seeing them all together like that. A purrfect mix!

    3furcats Very cute. Love how genetics works, her babies seem like they each took a part of mom's multi colored coat.

    ShottySHD Surprise. She comes with gifts.

  • She really didn’t show up empty-handed. Walked in, made herself at home, and brought a whole set of tiny gifts with her. One minute it’s just a stray at the door, next minute it’s a full little crew settling in. Not the kind of surprise you expect, but definitely one that makes everything a lot more interesting in the best way.
