For example, a mother cat will routinely relocate her litter, often moving the newborn kittens from one dark and quiet location to the next.

An East London dry-cleaners witnessed this unusual feline fact first-hand when, to its employees' surprise, the desperate meows of four newborn kittens were heard coming from an unexpected -- albeit dark and quiet -- place.

We don't know about you, but we're paw-sitively delighted by this tail's purr-fect ending.

(Too much? Sorry -- too many cat-tastic puns out there.)
