One pet owner appears to have made sure their cat wasn’t going to become a deadbeat dad after getting the neighbour’s cat pregnant.

A photo shared online shows a large bag of cat food sitting outside someone’s front door with a handwritten note taped across the front.

The message simply reads: “CHILD SUPPORT”.

According to the person who originally shared the image, their neighbour’s cat was responsible for getting their cat pregnant.

They explained: “My neighbor’s cat got my cat pregnant. I woke up to this on my porch.”

The origin of the now-viral image isn’t known, but it was later shared by Pubity, where people couldn’t get enough of the apparent feline father taking responsibility for his incoming kittens – with a little assistance from his owner, of course.

One person joked: “Purrfect Father.”

Another wrote: “Hahaha tbh thats more responsible than most humans.”

A third added: “Just because he is a cat dad doesn’t mean he can avoid responsibility.”

And someone else simply described it as: “The most hilarious thing I’ve ever seen later these days.”

There might not be much the cat himself can contribute when the kittens arrive, but at least his owner has made sure he’s keeping up with the child support payments.
