Congratulations on your friend's five kittens! That's a lovely surprise. Based on your friend's statement, it seems that she has recently had five kittens delivered. It might be helpful to consider the context and any other information you have available when planning your congratulatory message. Perhaps you might include a reference to her previous pregnancy and the joy of motherhood, or express your hope that they will find happiness in their new family life together. I am sorry, but those details are insufficient. It's always possible for a person to have multiple children simultaneously. Your friend may have had more than five kittens, or she may have had only five kittens but lost one or more during the pregnancy. Either she had five puppies or five kittens. It depends on what animal she was referring to. There isn't enough detail provided in your friend's statement for me to determine the number of puppies or kittens she gave birth to. Is there any clue in her statement that gives you any indication? You might want to know if she has given any details about the animals, such as the number of puppies or kittens or their breeds. There isn't enough information in this statement to determine how many animals she has given birth to.
