In 2017 I went on a business trip to Berlin for work. Because my travel budget was rather small, I found an airbnb to stay in that was one room in a shared flat. It was in budget and close to the office so I requested to book it. I woke up the next day to an approval of my booking request, with the following message from my host:You're welcome to stay with us, but there's something you should know (and if it's not ok I'll fully refund you). Both of our cats just had kittens.I ultimately spent my time in Berlin living with two humans, two adult cats, and 12 kittens.

@9yiwepoizn0u004v@transfem.social the message was about the fact that the rent had to go up because the quality of the stay was significantly improved, right?

@pixiesnoot@transfem.social I would have paid extra for 12 kittens 🙀

@pixiesnoot@transfem.social @acb@mastodon.social Two years ago a stray cat had a litter of six kittens in my basement window. My dad and I found them and we assume they were only about two weeks old. It was so fun to be with them while they grew up and learned everything. The Mama Cat also seemed very overwhelmed because she was way too young to give birth. The Mama cat is a tuxedo cat. Two of her kittens turned out black-and-white but they were more like large patches of black-and-white. Her other kittens turned out a combination of white, gray, and cream. One of her boys has blue eyes and he is very cute.
