Based on the message, your friend is talking about her friend Lisa’s **cat**, not her own human babies. Here is the breakdown: * **How many?** There are **3** babies. * **What are they?** They are **kittens**. In her message, she says Lisa's "**Tatze**" (which means "Paw," a common nickname for a cat) had "**3 Junge**" (3 young ones/babies). She ends by saying, "I want a **cat** too," which confirms she is talking about pets. **How to reply:** Since your friend is sad because she wants a cat of her own ("Ich will auch eine Katze :((("), you should probably comment on how cute they are or offer some comfort. **If you want to reply in German:** * "Oh wie süß! Drei kleine Kätzchen!" (Oh how sweet! Three little kittens!) * "Glückwunsch an Lisa! Vielleicht kannst du sie ja bald mal besuchen?" (Congrats to Lisa! Maybe you can visit them soon?) * "Kopf hoch, du bekommst bestimmt auch irgendwann eine Katze." (Cheer up, you'll definitely get a cat too someday.)
