For some reason whenever I see a story/picture of a stray mother cat and a single kitten I think of Hadestown Calliope and Orpheus. So when I saw this post about a cat running into someone's house to give birth, I developed a random headcanon that Calliope gave birth to Orpheus in Hermes' bar at like 4 AM cause Oeagrus's place was too far away and she was caught off-guard traveling. Hermes said even her labor pains were musical but she knew he was just being sweet.
