Of course! Let's break down that message. Based on what your friend wrote, there are **three** new babies. ### Here's the breakdown: * **"Ihre Tatze hat 3 Junge bekommen"** translates to "Her pet had 3 babies." * "Tatze" is a cute, colloquial word for a pet's paw, but it's often used to refer to the whole animal, like "kitty" or "pupper." * "Junge" means "young ones" or babies. * The number is clearly **3**. ### The Important Context: This is the key part you need to know for your reply: **The babies do not belong to your friend.** The message is about *Lisa's* cat having kittens. Your friend is just sharing the exciting news she saw on Instagram and then expressing her own wish for a cat. She is the one who wants a cat, not the one who just had kittens. ### How to Congratulate Your Friend: Instead of congratulating her on becoming a "grandma" to kittens, you should congratulate her on the *exciting news* she shared and engage with her desire for a cat. Here are a few great ways you could reply: **Option 1 (Simple & Sweet):** > "Oh my god, I just saw your message! Lisa's kittens are adorable! Congrats to her on the new little family!" **Option 2 (Playful & Supportive):** > "I know, right?! Those kittens are so cute! I saw Lisa's post. Maybe this is your sign to get one too! 😉" **Option 3 (Enthusiastic):** > "Aww, three little kittens! That's so exciting! I totally get why you want a cat now after seeing those cuties." This way, you're showing you understood the message correctly and are sharing in her excitement
