Based on the text you provided, there are **3 babies**. Specifically, the cat ("Tatze") has given birth to **3 male kittens** ("3 Junge"). Here is the breakdown of the sentence: * **"Tatze hat 3 Junge bekommen"** = The cat (or her paw) gave birth to 3 boys. * **"Ich will auch eine Katze"** = I want a cat too (confirming that "babies" refers to animals). So, your friend is jealous (with good reason!) because there are three cute boys
