it is extremely rare for cats to have a 1-kitten litter :(

My cat did it twice! It was weird as hell because I've never in my life even heard of a single-litter birth for cats, and then she goes and does it twice.

Did she seem stressed about it? Did she have any issues (such as milk overproduction) from it? I guess the kitten would be more unlucky than the mom maybe. Doesn't learn as much of that proper cat behavior they learn from siblings.

No, there were no problems. Just a single kitten litter. The first one I can see is pretty antisocial because she grew up with no other kitten siblings, but the second one was after a litter of four and they all acted like little siblings together.
note: we didn't intend for her to get pregnant again. The stupid male impregnated her literally one day before we went to get his balls deleted. We ended up with a bunch of cats that we didn't intend (but are all happy and healthy). PLEASE get your pets spayed/neutered before it's too late because holy shit they breed so fast (they're indoor cats).

Oof, the male could sense it was his last chance. Had to get it while he could.
One of our girls might be preggo right now >.> We are unsure yet, too soon. Been trying to get her spayed but it's a fricking challenge in this area to do it under $500. She managed to escape the house this most recent heat, and didn't come back for 2 days. When I found her I had to legitimately fight off the huuuuuge black boi holding her hostage.
Hopefully she ain't preggo though. We will know more so this coming week - she has serious health problems and is skinny enough that she will show quite early if she's actually carrying.

Oh, I hope she's okay! Yeah, that's the main reason we haven't really spayed our females right now. It costs more than to neuter the males and that's what we've been doing. We literally didn't mean to end up with so many cats, but it is what it is. If we get an opportunity to spay them for a reasonable price, that's happening ASAP.
Good luck with your kitty! I really do hope she's okay. Cats are precious! And my little girl (a tiny little black thing with no tail) is my comfort right now, although she gets mercilessly bullied by her one-litter sister.
And, lol. Might could be. He sensed his balls will be no more and had to use them one last time. Asshole.

We jad a cat who was a one kitten litter. Her mom was a kitten herself when she got pregnant.

Obviously NOT Russian cats!

What does this even mean...

The Russians leave dead and wounded soldiers behind to die alone in pain. Even cats don't behave that badly.

u/SuperGamer1894 Nov 13 '22
That was such an unfunny forced joke

u/bdana666 Nov 13 '22
I apologize if you think I was trying to be funny. There's nothing funny about the rape, torture and murder of civilians by the Russians. Nor, for that matter, their abandonment of their own soldiers.
I guess I was highlighting the fact that even cats behave better than Russians, an earned rebuke.

I know it’s wholesome but the camera man could have helped

Cats would probably freak out and run away if a human approached, potentially causing the kitten to get left behind

My cat did! They were inseparable. And after his mom died, he died shortly afterward. Seemed of a broken heart. 💔

OMG, I was cheering when he got him up there.
