**Stop! Do not congratulate your friend on having babies!** You have misunderstood the message. Your friend did **not** have babies. Here is what the message actually translates to: > "Omg!! Did you catch what **Lisa** shared on Insta? **Her cat** [colloquially referred to as 'paw'] had **3 kittens** ('young ones') - the little ones look sooo cute. **I want a cat too** :(((" Here is the breakdown so you can be sure: 1. **Who had them?** "Lisa." (A third person). 2. **What are they?** "Junge" (Young ones/offspring), but the context matches the last sentence: "Ich will auch eine **Katze**" (I want a **cat** too). Also, "Tatze" (paw) is used here as a nickname or typo for the animal. 3. **How many?** There are **3** kittens. **How to reply:** Instead of congratulating her on a birth, you should reply by asking to see the photos of the kittens or sympathizing with her regarding her wish for a cat! Example reply: *"Oh wow, cute! Send me the screenshot, I want to see the kittens too!"*
