      Kittens are assholes, so you’re not wrong.

      I stared at the thumbnail for about a minute, mistaking the mother’s head for her feet.

      Sometimes cats have just one, especially if it’s their first litter.

          No, the first pregnancy are most commonly 1-2 furballs. We rescued a pretty young cat once which was pregnant at that time and assumed it would be her first litter because she was estimated to haven’t reached her 2nd birthday yet by our vet. we thought that was manageable for us; turns out it wasn’t her first time when she delivered 5 at once.

            Yep, my first cat only had one kitten.
            Which was a surprise because when I bought her I was told she had been sorted.

            (I got them both sorted asap)

            Plenty of cats have like 5 in their first litter. Also, cats can get pregnant after they’re only like 6 months old. Your cat knowledge seems quite made up.

              Look, this cat was “owned” by a guy who let it live outside but didn’t fix her because “he wouldn’t let anyone fix himself, why should i do it with my cat?” and went on vacations without organizing care for her. The cat wasn’t seen pregnant by the reporting person in the months before, and it’s an area with not a lot of unfixed cats roaming in general. That was the basis on which we thought it was her first litter.

              Don’t throw around accusations if you don’t know the full story, mate.

                Buddy, you straight up said it wasn’t her first litter based on the fact that she had 5 kittens. That’s dumb. What you said was dumb.

                  Between one and nine kittens will be born in a litter – most
                  commonly four to six. First-time queens usually have a small
                  litter size.

                  https://www.cats.org.uk/media/1029/eg18_pregnant_cats-_birth_and_care_of_young_kittens.pdf

                  combined with pretty fast birthing where she had contractions only for a few hours (my wife even went to work, fully expecting to have the five hours of time after the first contractions started about 4 hours before) and a pretty strainless birthing itself where she was still rubbing against my legs when i noticed the first kitten in its membrane starting to prod out of her) it’s not dumb to expect that it wasn’t her first litter at that point, but not before. i goaded her softly to her birthing box when i noticed that. It was an educated guess, not freaking science.

    Amazingly, it can also be seen as an artistic representation of what constipation feels like.
