How to place commas in sentences?

1. Place a comma after the introductory phrase or clause.
2. Use commas before and after a parenthetical phrase or clause.
3. Use a comma to separate two separate clauses linked by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, nor, or, so, yet).
4. Use a comma to separate items in a series.
5. Use a comma before a quotation when an introductory phrase with a word like say or reply precedes the quotation.

Here, the first independent clause is "The cat", "by the way" is coordinating conjunction and, "had her kittens at noon" is the second independent clause.
