When I was 6, I caught our cat having a gang bang in the back yard. My grandmother came to check out what I was so upset about. "They're killing her!" "Go to your room." "But -" "Go." Then, a couple months later, she's waking me up early (it was summer) to come see the kittens in the box she'd set up in her bedroom.
For my tenth birthday, my mom took me to see a "double feature" that consisted of Force Ten from Navarone and the remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers" Glad we saw the war one first.
And then that Playgirl with the picture of Long Dong Silver the neighbour kids had a year or two later; our expressions gave the grown-ups much mirth.
You have to remember, I was a child before VCRs and video games were a thing.
No, but they got good homes, and people came by to adopt them pretty quickly. (It's really not difficult to find homes for cats, but what's more difficult is finding rental properties that allow pets. It's interesting how Bob Barker never called out landlords for this, and put "pet overpopulation" solely on the shoulders of pets and owners.)
Awwwh, that's lovely. A coworker of mine recently adopted a cat. They assumed it was much younger than it was, so by the time they wanted it spayed, she already got pregnant. I think there is only one left, but they intended to keep one anyway.
But yeah, in a way I understand not wanting to deal with people potentially mess up your property/disappearing without taking their pets. (In my country it recently happened, some Chinese guy and his gal left a dog, a cat and some rabbits in a flat and disappeared).
It also sucks, because the people who want to do it right are the ones who get punished, as always.

Did you get to keep the kittens tho?
