A little girl's wish to have 15 kitties almost came true when a stray cat brought all of her kittens to her yard, and internet users can't cope with the heartwarming footage caught on camera by her mom.
In the viral video, shared on TikTok on Sunday under the username @ the poster and her toddler daughter are mesmerized by a tabby cat and her four little kittens, who are having the best time playing in their yard.
"POV [point of view]: the cat distribution system finds you right outside your bedroom window," reads layover text in the caption.
"We already have three cats," the poster can be heard telling her daughter, as the young girl replies: "Yeah but, I really want 15!"

Another update: there are actually 4! Will call around on Tuesday after Memorial Day for help safely trapping them, because there is no way I can keep 4 more. But maybe I have room for 1… or 2 😉😻 #cats #kittens #catdistributionsystem #fyp ♬ Little Things - Adrián Berenguer
"Another update: there are actually four! Will call around on Tuesday after Memorial Day for help safely trapping them, because there is no way I can keep four more. But maybe I have room for one... or two," the caption says.
There are two different types of homeless cats out there, stray cats, who tend to roam around homes and are usually friendly, and feral cats, who have not been socialized, and are usually very scared of people, which can cause them to become distressed if handled.
If you find a feral cat, you should not approach them. If they are injured or unwell, the best thing to do is to contact your local vet or ASPCA, who will be able to help the animal in a safe way.
Stray cats on the other hand aren't scared of people, and are often friendly, but before taking one in, British animal charity Blue Cross says you should always take them to your local vet and check if they're micro-chipped and already have a home.
