I use "having kittens" to mean panicky/panicking, sometimes in a situation where one might be extected to be handling it better. "The children started a paint fight in the classroom and the sub teacher was having kittens". "My keys were locked in the car, my cellphone was dead, my kids were due off the school bus in the middle of nowhere and the tornado sirens were going off -I was having kittens"
