A cat owner was left baffled after finding two kittens in her home—despite only having two neutered male cats. Amy, who shares pet updates on TikTok as @amys_vlog777, posted the mystery in a video on May 5. The clip quickly went viral, gaining over 12.2 million views, 2 million likes, and more than 22,000 comments by Wednesday.
The unexpected feline visitors included a black kitten, resembling her two adult cats, and an orange kitten that stayed quietly in a corner. The black one wandered through the home. Meanwhile, Amy’s two cats stared at her wide-eyed, seemingly just as confused.
In the video, Amy joked about feline reproduction, asking if “cats multiply by mitosis.” Viewers responded with humorous theories. “They used a surrogate,” one person wrote. Another joked, “Too many hairballs formed a kitten.” Others suggested the mysterious “cat distribution system” was at work.
However, in a follow-up video, Amy shared the real explanation. Her neighbor’s unspayed female cat had recently given birth. The kittens, about four weeks old, had wandered into Amy’s home. Even after being returned, the curious kittens kept coming back on their own. Amy noted, “I actually watched them walk over one time.”
Eventually, the neighbor found new homes for all the kittens and the mother, ending the mystery and delighting viewers with a wholesome resolution.
