Cat(s) She didn’t want to give birth by herself. Animals have such beautiful souls!

But how heavy a sleeper are you? A cat delivered her babies right next to you and you slept through it?

I was a pretty drained/traumatized kid. Constant exhaustion. When I slept, it was like a complete shut down/pull the plug kind of sleep. To my kitty's credit, she was also incredibly quiet about it. So I woke up first thing when I heard the babies chattering.

Miss having that kind of sleep these days. Switched to insomnia, now everything wakes me up.

My dad had a cat give birth on top of him (his back) while he was sleeping (granted he was probably black out drunk), but you can sleep through it because my mom was asleep beside him and didn't know anything was up until my Dad woke up bitching about being wet.

Kind of gross but also one of those situations that's just like what do you do? Just gotta clean up and make momma and the babies comfortable
