How do cat dads view their kittens? Does the kitten know it's dad?
In the past two days, I found a very interesting phenomenon. The kitten at home is three or four months old, so it was "expelled" by the cat mother! The mother cat thinks that the baby is old enough to go out and survive alone.
As soon as you meet them, you will be fierce and beat them at every turn. The kittens were so scared that they didn't dare to approach the mother cat, and turned around and threw themselves into the embrace of the father cat~
Strange to say, the cat father has never brought a fur child. Facing the coquettish kittens, he never refused to come, without showing a trace of impatience, and tolerated the naughty kittens in every possible way, just like a loving father.
As the title says, does the kitty know it's daddy? Does the cat father know that this is his own child?
Everyone should know that cats distinguish their companions more often by smell. Even if it is a mother cat, the first thing she does when she sees a kitten is to step forward and smell it.
In fact, ordinary male cats will not recognize whether this is their own child. After the kitten is born, it only has the memory of the female cat. That's why a while ago, when the kitten got its head stuck in the toilet, the mother cat was terribly anxious, but the dad was sleeping beside her! --Emergencies! Don't let the toilet become the cat's death bucket
You know, a male cat in estrus is like taking medicine, and will mate with multiple female cats. A sexually mature male cat who has not been neutered wants to mate with a female cat with young. They often kill the kittens and occupy the mother cats, regardless of whether the litter is their own.
Emotions come from getting along. If the mother cat does not know the male cat, then the kittens will naturally not agree with the father; if the mother cat recognizes the male cat, then the relationship will be stable, and the children will naturally snuggle up to the father, and then the father will also Take care of the kittens.
It is said that they are father and son, but in fact their relationship is more like a group. The cat father is strong and strong, so naturally he is the one that the kitten relies on.
In addition, for families where the cat father, cat mother and cat children are raised together, the excrement shoveler should pay attention to timely sterilization! If the kitten grows up and becomes sexually mature, some "indescribable" and "immoral" things may happen, the shit shoveler must be cautious!
Finally, please enjoy the picture of this cat father who has no complaints and no regrets, and is tolerant of cat children in every possible way, when facing a naughty kitten~
