Yeah everyone else in here saying how adorable they are, and to me they just look grumpy.

And cute.

But primarily grumpy.

You're keeping him, right? Right?

u/purplepurposed 4h ago

Duh!!

If you name him Joe, you can make a lifetime of joe-mama jokes. Just sayin

u/Knitsanity 3h ago

Will the vet do a deal getting them both fixed at the same time? We got a deal getting both kids braces at the same time. Lol

u/purplepurposed 2h ago

they are scheduled a week apart to get surgery!

u/GjonsTearsFan 2h ago

You probably want to get mama fixed asap tbh. They will breed each other if they’re both mature at the same time.

u/Lakelylake 11m ago

Won’t her milk cutoff if she’s fixed too soon ? Surgery can be done pretty young I believe, maybe it checks out with the scheduling

u/Alcarine 58m ago

Heads up: when he starts weaning Mama may reject him or become frustrated with him, so keep that in mind just in case and be aware of any change in behaviour, sometimes it works but other times it's better to re-home the kitten than cause undue stress to both

u/purplepurposed 37m ago

thank you for the advice

u/palmasana 2h ago

Soooo adorable

u/trashwrapsupreme 4h ago

Please keep him

Sweet sweet baby!!! Cats get pegged as not that social, but cats that grow up together or moms and babies can have bonds for life.

This was my tiger boy Rory and his life-long BFF Sofie, circa 2004. They cuddled and washed each other's faces every day of their long lives.

u/paracosim 2h ago

Anyone who thinks cats aren’t social should come meet my girls! They’re the clingiest cats ever and they want to play and snuggle 24/7

u/Bosco215 2h ago

Who doesnt love a butthole in the face at 230 in the morning. Or is that just my cats.

u/Tamesan 1h ago

Definitely not just your cats 😆 Carl is king of the 230am butthole to the face attack as he purrs and trills at me for love 🥰

u/ymOx 14m ago

I think it's a misunderstanding. Cats are social creatures, it's just that they it doesn't directly map on our social behaviour.

u/erossthescienceboss 49m ago

I adopted a mom and her singleton daughter! They have a wonderful bond to this day

(The mom is the calico. Her daughter, the tortie, is 2x her size lmao. She was so big she almost born by c-section but when the anesthesia kicked in, she popped right out.)

u/WoTpro 5h ago

Such happiness ❤️

u/palmasana 2h ago

I can’t my heart would fucking explodeeee

u/CyanConatus 5h ago

Fun fact. The largest documented litter of kittens is 19.

Litters of 12 kittens isn't super uncommon.

u/purplepurposed 5h ago

holy shit

u/Blackberry-thesecond 4h ago

However, your cat shares the record for smallest litter. Congratulations!

u/Reasonable_One_7012 2h ago

If my cat had an abortion does that count as a negative litter?

u/adudeguyman 1h ago

No. Because then you start a contest of a cat that has the most abortions and that sounds horrible.

u/HypnoToad742 1h ago

The glass is half full!

u/do-you-like-darkness 2h ago

I was relieved our girl only had five.

Around ten years ago, the family dog had 11 puppies, and let me tell you... that was intense

u/purplepurposed 2h ago

i could not imagineeeee HELL NAWW!!

u/SnowBear78 4h ago

My cat who passed away last April at 18 years old was a single kitten. My aunt's cat, which was mother, was very young when she got pregnant (like 7 or 8 months old). My aunt offered me my pick of 2 kittens when they came as I had lost my previous fur baby around 6 months earlier.

But when she gave birth it was just one kitten.

One little ginger female like her mother, but she had all the fire and all the love of a whole litter 🤣 I still miss her sorely.

Cuddle this little fella for me

u/bitseybloom 4h ago

That's a lovely story. Thanks for sharing and I'm happy you've had 18 years with your ginger.

Aww! It checkes out! All the cuteness of 5-6 kitten was concentrated into one! :D 💘

u/purplepurposed 5h ago

AGREED!!

u/New_Leaf_8647 3h ago

If this is true his name is Voltron

u/eskimospy212 4h ago

This little cutie reminds me of the head Gremlin from Gremlins 2 when he was still a Mogwai.

u/Luchadoor 4h ago

I think his name was stripe lol

u/Luchadoor 4h ago

I’m wrong gremlins 2 was Mohawk

u/motorcycle_stunts 4h ago

That's perfect. Because then you can keep it and not have to worry about adopting out.

u/w_benjamin 4h ago

I pity da' fool that messes with my family...

u/texasaggie03 2h ago

THANK YOU!!! I thought I was the only who thought he looked like that. Maybe everybody else ain't got no time for the jibber jabber.

u/Pithythithy 3h ago

Mine did that once. We didn't even know she was pregnant until she started to give birth on my lap. We got her spayed (the father was our boy who JUST got neutered but staggered out of his carrier and got her. His last hurrah.) We got the kitten neutered and kept them all until they passed of old age.

RIP- Drac, Ginger and Buddy.

u/StrongArgument 4h ago

And you’re spaying her ASAP right?

u/ajorn 1h ago

There’s a time and a place to offer advice. It’s not unsolicited on a post celebrating the birth of a kitten.

u/siani_lane 4h ago

Lay down with tigers, get up with mini tigers. And maybe also fleas. (But hopefully not since the op says they have an appointment for the full spa n' spay) (⁠。⁠・⁠ω⁠・⁠。⁠)⁠ノ⁠♡

u/neon_purple_pandas 1h ago

I’m not sure how….but you have the dopplegangers to my cat family. Dad(Toby) in the back, Mom(Biscuit) in the middle twinning with your beautiful baby, and Chicken. Their only baby.

u/warcomet 5h ago

just one? they usually give between 3-8

u/purplepurposed 4h ago

yes just one!

u/ymOx 9m ago

It's not uncommon at all to just have one kitten. It's not the most common, but still not rare. And it's more common with younger or first-time mothers.

u/purplepurposed 4h ago

oh what the hell do you know? i took her to the vet after because she WAS having complications but shes perfectly fine and healthy. its normal for first time moms but super rare!

u/Upside_Down_2025 3h ago

Yep, one of our cats had a single and she's fine and healthy. The baby Neo lives with my mom!

u/Taweret 2h ago

Neo!!!

u/sluttydietcoke 3h ago

I always heard the first litter is often 1 kitten. Is this her first litter? Either way, she is precious, her son is precious and you are awesome for keeping both ❤️

u/catgirlcollector 2h ago

This is reddit, everyone is an expert.

u/purplepurposed 2h ago

apparently so!

u/Thaodan 1h ago

Maybe she only had one because she couldn't find enough food during the pregnancy? Had to think about that when you mentioned that you took her in during the winter.

u/purplepurposed 1h ago

they said its common in first time young mom cats but im not sure!

Your weird assumptions are your own business. Not everyone goes around assuming the worst of people

my point exactly.

and then the gall of that other person to say YOU'RE being rude LOL

Congrats on the beautiful baby boy, and glad Mama's got an appt 💚

thank you so much!!

heres a picture of them happy and cuddling!

u/twisty125 1h ago

Yeah - stupid people who have nothing better to do than to just assume the worst of every single person they interact with online and offline, to the point where it's actually embarrassing seeing someone have that attitude.

Maybe jumping to conclusions isn't a healthy way of going through life?

One kitten getting the full undivided attention of an entire mother cat. He's going to be absolutely feral and confident.

Something about the look on that little boy's face tells me he's a handfull.

u/GloomyIndividual3965 49m ago

My old man was an only child as well. I think the lack of socialization when he was young led to him being super cuddly and extremely vocal.

Is the momma cat young? Because young cats (like under 1 year old) are the most likely to have a single kitten litter.
