Man finds cat who just gave birth under his bed -- and his tweets are going viral

Updated

Paris Zarcilla has recently found himself new dad to four kittens and one mama cat -- and the hilarious story is going viral.

Here's what we know: the London Filmmaker went into his room to grab a sweater, and found the new family just chilling under his bed. Zarcilla didn't explain how he thinks the cats entered his flat, but apparently he just found the black and white feline nursing her four babies.

And what a saga it's been.

Zarcilla took the discovery better than most of us would. "So... I JUST FOUND A CAT THAT IS NOT MINE AND IT HAS HAD BABIES UNDER MY BED," he wrote next to the photo of the cat, before following up with more of his thoughts.

"Am I a Dad now?" he wrote. Apparently, Paris is, and has since been taking on this new responsibility like a champ, including buying food and snuggling with the kittens.

The love he has is real:

"This is too much. I'm approaching nirvana. I legitimately suffer from anxiety attacks and depression and my capacity to deal with it recently has been waning. The Cat Gods have smiled upon me with benevolence and turned the monsters under my bed into kittens," Paris wrote, scattering in #catdad here and there.

He wrote of this awakening: "I have run the gamut of human emotion today. Unexpectedly discovered more than kittens but also the hidden depths of my own capacity to love." Paris followed up with an update from "Cat Protection," which is requiring him to keep the mom and babies together for another few weeks.

And while Paris briefly considers calling a rescue to see if the cat belongs to someone, his "moral compass" is ruined.

"This may be someone's cat and I don't want to take away this joy from anybody. But my dad instincts have kicked in so hard. Fuck. I want this," he wrote. Looks like he's keeping them!
