1.8 - MANY CATS! HANDLE IT!

Now look at that! The tiniest cat has grown up to become bigger than Bharu! She's not fat though, it's all about the fluff.

As it usually happens when you don't spay or neuter your cat, she became pregnant soon after reaching maturity.

While Valla is putting on some pounds, Feli is busy getting rid of hers. 

On her way back from the gym she encounters a raccoon. Feli is sure she can pet that little guy. After all, racoons are just cats with a funny bandit mask, right? And she has plenty of experience with cats!

Ouch! Lesson learned. 'Coons ain't cats.

You're a true gentleman, Katerchen, eh? Letting your pregnant and exhausted daughter-in-law sleep on the floor while claming the cat bed for yourself...

What a big round belly though!

The same afternoon: Feli goes out to eat at the bistro with Dereck, the chubby boy she was already friends with in elementary school. Judging by the look on her face she's not really looking forward to the night though...

Dereck goes ahead and orders food that could easily fill up the two of them all for himself. You can tell where he got his additional pounds from, and it's not bad genetics!

"And you are going to eat all of this by yourself? Ugh, it's people like you who motivate me to work out..."

Wait, what? Dereck needs a second to process what he has heard. But Feli doesn't stop there: "You know, you kinda look like the Before pictures in fitness magazines, haha!"

Dereck is used to being made fun of but he didn't expect to hear this from his friend! Or should he have? Feli sure isn't known to be afraid of speaking her mind...

That's when Dereck gets upset. "And YOU should take a class in decent manners rather than cardio! I already get enough shit from the guys at school, I don't need these kind of comments from someone I call friend!"

Oof. That was Dereck's vulnerable point. Maybe Feli should try to think before she speaks in the future.

I can't tell if she is sad here or really doesn't care. Somehow teenage Feli has a constant "eh, whatever." face.

Yeah, I think she's a little sad. She might have been rude but she doesn't have a heart of stone, does she?

The same night at around 2.30 AM mother and daughter wake up to strange noises from the dining room. 

And guess what they saw: Valla had her kittens!

At this point the Koyangi household had 5 cats: Amy and Katerchen, Ava, Bharu and Valla.

My jaw dropped a little when I saw that Valla had an unusually large litter for sims standards. Yup, we now have nine cats total!

One male, three female. Say hello to Cassie, Celine, Clone, and Cami (from left to right in the picture above)!

There's something odd about the kittens though, and I don't know if Valla fell victim to a glitch or if it's supposed to be like that: 3 of the 4 kittens have the exact same fur pattern and body. In fact, Celine and Clone are 100% identical, and Cassie only differs in her head shape.

Cami is the only one who looks entirely unique.

Glitch or not - Valla is a proud mom now!

Lena and Feli stay up this night and take care of everything. Making sure all the kittens came out of mom's belly, filling the food bowls, etc. Nine cats. That's just a little bit crazy!

Ava is a little bit sad that she's not the one to have kittens. Spoiler: she won't have any before aging up, even though it was planned originally.

This is what neighbours see when they look through the large windows in the dining room from the outside. A perfectly normal scene.

Lena explains to Feli that she will have to help her taking care of the cats, since nine cats with four of them being so young is a bit too much to handle for Lena alone. 

I don't think Feli has a problem with that though. The cats helped raising her when she was a baby, and now she will help raising the cats.

Who's a fabulous little kitty? Oh yes, Cami is!

This voice conversation from 2006 became somewhat of a meme in the WoW community and outside of it.
