My cat had kittens
My little Luna girl is only a year old herself. She got out a few times and sure enough, because we slacked on having her fixed (she was going to be an indoor cat only) she got pregnant.
It was so amazing to watch her give birth to her 6 kittens. Makes me feel super weak and pathetic as a human that I couldnt even push one baby out 
We have homes for all the kitties when they are old enough to leave their mama  We will be keeping one because i cant imagine taking them all away from her.
They still havent opened their eyes yet (they will be a week tomorrow) so we are waiting for that to happen. Besides that, they sleep and nurse all day long. She carried them up to my closet and threw them in with my shoes, so I had to clear the whole thing out and made them a nice comfy spot with blankets and towel.
Miss Luna will be getting fixed ASAP
They are so sweet 
This was the day after they were born (sorry for the nipple shot) We are keeping the one with the white on its face

Re: My cat had kittens
So sweet. And I was falling in love, picking one until I read they all have homes. That's wonderful!

Re: My cat had kittens
They are absolutely gorgeous. Growing up my cat (an outdoor cat we took in who was pg) had kittens and it was amazing to watch them grow and be taken care of by their mama.
Word of caution, she can easily get pg again so make sure with all your might that she does NOT get out again if she is not fixed. It can happen that quickly, as it happened to our cat (I was 10). She clawed through the screen and got out and my mom saw a male cat on top of her in our driveway. My mom threw a dish towel out the window at him but it was too late. It happened that fast. So we had another litter to find homes for and it was hard.
Also...just so you know....cats cannot be fixed too soon after having a litter or being in heat, due to the increased blood flow to the uterus. So make sure when you do get her fixed, it's by a reputable vet who clearly defines when she will be ready to be fixed after having her kittens. But please....like I said, just a warning from personal experience, make sure with all your might that she does not get out and go looking for a man. LOL.
They are just amazing to watch.

Thanks!
We called the vet today to get all the info we needed and they said we need to wait until the kittens are weaned before having her fixed. And not even 10 minutes later, she was trying to sneak out with my kids  Its going to be a rough couple of weeks
And the kitties ALL opened their eyes today. I didnt think it was possible, but they are even cuter now!
And sorry for the huge photos - I reposted from FM and cant make them smaller

Re: My cat had kittens
Absolutely adorable!!!
When I was about 16, my parents cat had kittens! I was getting ready for school and I just saw something moving on my parents bed. It turned out to be kittens! We didn't even know she was pregnant. It was amazing watching them grow. Treasure it- not many people get to see something so amazing!
