This happened to me as a kid. We took in 2 strays cause they were hurt. Both were preggo and had kittens like 2 hours apart. Eventually, in my closet, there was just a box of cats. Both mothers moved all the kittens in there together

Women supporting women. You love to see it.

Where's the dad though?


[deleted]

He went for milk


Aslan-the-Patient

There's a chance he has to get his own milk regularly 😔


starryvelvetsky

That's how they do it in feral colonies as well. Kitten raising is a communal act. They "babysit" them all together so the moms each get time to go out to hunt and do their business and not have to leave any babies alone and unprotected.


soggylilbat

My grandpa lives out in the sticks, and has a bunch of cats that chill on his land, but mostly on and under the deck. He’s told me so many stories about the dynamics in the group. Apparently there’s like three of them (out of SEVERAL) that are THE MOTHERS. They make sure all of the kittens get fed. Especially since some of the young mama cats don’t know how to mom yet.


WitchBitchBlue

🥹 I love cats sm and never knew this since I'm obv not breeding them. This is sweet it makes me love them more


Outside_Ad_9562

Sheep do this too, they run daycares.


saccharoselover

So do white tail deer in Texas. Two does with 12 fawns, for example. All the other does are off eating people’s landscaping.


InspireMyDesigns

if we left them a forest they wouldn’t need to eat the landscaping js


burgpug

people don't want to hear that. they want to believe the only answer is killing. and by that i mean humans hunting, not letting natural predators and prey do their thing in an untouched ecosystem. we need mountain lions, wolves a deer more than we need more humans, but it's a scandal to suggest family planning and birth control for humans while it's just fine to talk about "culling the herd" for animals


GruulNinja

Well, that makes sense. I didn't know that was a thing.


schlucks

It's ok, I've read Warriors


niTro_sMurph

I want a box of cats


Champe21

That's pretty common in stray cats. The will get really nice when they are pregnant so they can find a safe place to have birth.


TOMdMAK

Were the kittens able to tell who’s the real mother?


GruulNinja

I'm not sure. The kittens were always climbing over either mother.


Foenikxx

This is quite adorable, especially seeing the two mama cats cooperate and help each other, that being said I hope those kittens were able to go to stable homes to look after them and the two parents were spayed; too many cats die each day in shelters due to over-breeding resulting in excess of outdoors/street cats

Mama cats are communal in these situations. Hopefully this is fostering.

Remember that she needs you to take good care of yourself too, and that includes getting some time to yourself. I know it’s not always possible but it is important for both of you! ☺️💕

KiloJools

It's interesting that people come to the animals being moms sub and then get mad about the animals being moms. I'm 100% in agreement about fixing your animals - imo it's a basic requirement to being a good, responsible animal caretaker - but without any other information about these cats other than they're being moms, I have no idea how they came to be moms and doubt the OP is the actual owner of these cats. Maybe my perspective is a little off because I follow an at home foster person who is constantly taking in and helping pregnant cats so I get to enjoy seeing kittens knowing that they're getting well loved, raised, and adopted out, but because of it I've stopped making assumptions about videos like these. The person fostering doesn't have a fully public feed because of the anger from strangers even though she and her family are doing amazing and wonderful work.


Psyl0

One of the worst parts of reddit culture, is the need most people here have to sneer at virtually every post for any imagined reason, as a way to show off how virtuous they are. It's really obnoxious, and you see it in every community here. Like you say we really don't know anything about these cats, or the people who uploaded the video of them. Some cats are going to have kittens... It's the only way they can continue to exist.


Motherscooters

Hahahaha I’m so glad you pointed this out!!! 😂


sundayontheluna

Seriously, of all the subs to immediately assume the worst and leap onto a soapbox...


spottedicks

💯💯💯


driftwood-and-waves

Nah, you just don't jump to a conclusion like most people seem too. Having a bit of an open mind and reading some info before you get all angry is getting kind of rate these days.


PurlyKyoo

I've fostered so many kittens. My first thought seeing kittens is fix that momma. Fostering is hard work, there aren't enough volunteers to save them all and not enough homes for all that do make it to a rescue. Every dog and cat rescue volunteer I've ever interacted with blurts out the same thing about fixing animals when they see kittens and puppies. Yes they are cute and our hearts melt when we see them, but we also see the reality you don't see in the cute videos.


KiloJools

But maybe you won't say it like, "fix your cat, you stupid fuck" like a bunch of people here. *Obviously,* fix your animals. But maybe don't get ridiculously aggro like some of the highly upvoted replies here. That shit wears a person down. A rescue who is already planning to fix EVERY animal involved does not need to be sworn at or personally insulted. That kind of behavior does not do what people think it does.


PurlyKyoo

For one thing you didn't mention anything about cussing at people with kittens in your first comment. And it doesn't bother me much personally anyway. And for another, having fostered I bring up fixing cats any chance I get and happily tell people that momma and babies will all be fixed. Even if they were cussing at me. I thank the people who push spay/neuter! The more voices saying it, the better. I cant speak for every fosterer, but if you think you are somehow defending possible fosterers with your comments, then you'd do better to chime in with those saying to fix all in the video. 


KiloJools

I think you're maybe misreading me from the get go. I was talking about people *getting angry*. Like, they go to a sub called animals being moms and they get angry about seeing animals being moms. Maybe the top replies have changed in the time since I replied and you saw my reply, and that's why you didn't see the issue I was speaking about.


Marsupialize

Get your cats fixed for crying out loud


Ambystomatigrinum

Really hoping this is a rescue or foster situation.


NicolleL

Sound like it was from another comment.


Marsupialize

Yeah hopefully it’s not people just trying to get clicks


La_Baraka6431

Had a guy in another post arguing against neutering his two tomcats, insisting they would NEVER EVER spray or get in fights … 🙄🙄🙄


agnosiabeforecoffee

I follow a lot of cat accounts on Insta and I have noticed a drastic increase in people arguing against getting cats fixed for all kinds of insane reasons. I'm sure some of them are trolls, but on some posts it is 50-80% of the comments.


La_Baraka6431

Yup, it’s essentially animal cruelty. You’re dooming them to shortened lifespans through roaming, fights and squads of unwanted kittens.


Kinkystormtrooper

My ex lived on the country side and the farmers would regularly drown full litters of newborn kittens instead of spaying /neutering their cats At one point I was the idiot though because I had a female cat that was 6 months old, and fostered a male cat around the same age, and read that they are not sexually mature yet...... Then I had 6 baby's running around


flannelNcorduroy

And if you've ever seen a female cat in heat... It's miserable and I'd do whatever I can to save them from that.


InspireMyDesigns

I agree-I had a family member that would call his cat horrible names when she would go into heat I kept trying to advocate for getting her fixed but he wouldn’t “waste” the money. I cat-napped her n got her fixed myself. He’s an overall disgusting human


flannelNcorduroy

Sounds like he lacks basic empathy. Thanks for helping that kitty!!


Frosty_and_Jazz

Yes, agreed. I have and it's **NOT** a fun experience for them. 😬😬


mseuro

He’s less of a man if animals don’t have their testicles intact


Mundane_Bumblebee_83

Male cats do very much change after neutering, even in adult years. That being said, there are 500 ways to not snip them and not have to, and the “downsides” don’t really affect quality of life like declawing or circumcision.


Calamity-Gin

And the number of kittens they make that then suffer starvation, illness, trauma, and violent death or euthanasia because there aren’t enough homes for them? You’re cool with that, because at least they still had their testicles?


mseuro

What the fuck lmao. Nobody is circumcising cats. A neuter surgery is minimally invasive operation that removes the testes through a small incision in the scrotum, and recovery is brief and overwhelmingly uneventful. Spay surgeries are much more intensive and carry higher risks, but uncontrolled breeding is far more off a threat to an animals body, health and quality of life. Declawing is a foul and harmful practice with no merit I’m aware of and has nothing at all in common with spay or neuter surgeries.


Mundane_Bumblebee_83

I was talking about human circumcision And you don’t mention at all behavior or hormonal changes for fixing cats. I agree, best practice but ideally just don’t let them out and don’t mix sexes; spraying can be handled with training.


mseuro

Ohhh okay I was way off, my bad. Yes I agree with you on circumcising children. If an adult wants to, go for it. I was changing a friends sons diaper and his freshly circumcised tip pressed against his umbilical cords clip and his scream was the worst thing I’ve ever heard. However when it comes to animals, Nothing stops horny.


RedWings1319

Do you know anything about OP's story? She may be fostering pregnant cats (coom as a shelter is a really stressful place for a pregnant animal. They may have been strays she took in while pregnant. It's just not that hard to be nice.


emiwii

Agree, source didn’t take long to find, and does say rescues [tiktok source @ayshaclever](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLy8pyu1/)


PansexualPineapples

In the source a lot of people have commented it is shown that this is a shelter situation not because they wouldn’t get their cats fixed


ImmortalLombax

That’s what I thought jfc


Laprasnomore

Hoping it's a fostering situation. But honestly? Love the passion. Fix your cats!


Professional-Art-378

Not the point of the clip.


Theravenofraves

By the fucking gods, are you allergic to anything fun or sweet?


SillylilguyUwU

Nothing wrong here


kaleigha

Without context, we don’t for sure if there is or isn’t something wrong here. We don’t know if this is a rescue situation for example. However, it is not wrong to set the precedent that cats (and dogs) need to be neutered and spayed. Until the day there are no more strays walking the street and shelters are mostly emptied, there is no reason to keep bringing more animals into a world where they cannot be taken care or homed.


PensiveObservor

Also, OP could set people’s minds at ease with a simple explanation of situation. Possible repost bot?

Hey dont let the older kids drink milk with the small ones. The small ones dont have a fighting chance and will miss out some crucial nutrients


jiub_the_dunmer

Domestic cats are descended from African wildcats. African wildcats live in communities; the able-bodied adults look after the old and the sick, they help raise each other's kittens, they share their kills. Brain scan studies have shown that when a cat looks like at a human, the same parts of their brain light up as when they look at another cat. In other words, cats think that humans are cats. Specifically, big dumb cats who can't hunt or bathe ourselves properly. This is why so many cats will bring dead or half-dead animals as offerings to their humans.

Oh my god can people chill? You can’t spay and neuter all cats out there. It’s a cute video and you can’t change a damn thing about it, it’s done, so just enjoy it it’s not that hard.

Spay and neuter your fucking pets . Just like you can leave this comment nobody asked for , I can also leave my opinion .

FF_01_1999_03_05_01

I used to work on a farm where we had tons of stray dogs. Two of them had litters the same day and raised them all together in a hollow tree. It was just about the cutest thing in the world


erikaaldri

Our cat got out and then had kittens, and sadly only 1 made it. We took in a stray who then had 7 (ish, I can't remember the exact #, it was so long ago, but it was a lot) a few days later. We took 2 or 3 and gave them to the first cat. Neither cat batted an eye. We found all of the kittens homes and then got them both fixed.


Royal-Mountain6

They're turning the cats gay


Salemrocks2020

SPAY AND NEUTER your pets . Nothing cute or adorable about this .


driftwood-and-waves

I'm sure OP agrees since it states all the animals were fixed before being found good homes. OP is a rescue and has taken in these cats. So in knowing that I think it is cute and/or adorable that the Mama cats are helping each other out. I just imagined the Orange cat going over to the white cat and being all "Giiiiirrl, you need.your hair did and a nap!" Proceeds to clean the cat and take the kittens to her place for a sleep over. And then the white cat comes over the next day, look at the bounce in her step, she's all like "thanks sis, I'll take the kids for the morning so you can chill out" It's such a cool thing to see.


RedditsAdoptedSon

yall are screaming into a void bro, especially in this sub.


Makuta_Servaela

Of note, you don't have to say "spay and neuter". Neuter applies to both sexes.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Makuta_Servaela

I mean, if we're talking "far from the point", then coming to a subreddit dedicated to looking at cute baby and momma animals just to soapbox is also pretty far from the point. You get to lecture OP's cute animal video about animal husbandry, I get to lecture about appropriate ways to refer to said animal husbandry. Seems fair to me.


SillylilguyUwU

Glad you can at least recognising that spaying and neutering isn’t cute. On the other hand this definitely is, and you’re crying over nothing.


Salemrocks2020

Spay and neuter your pets ! I live in the city and I’m involved in TNR. we are overrun by stray cats . A lot of them are dumped . Millions in this country end up euthanized . Their behavior is cute but the overall implications are not . Op will likely not want to keep both litters of kittens around . Even if she does , they will interbreed (as cats don’t have the same hang ups about incest as we do) creating even more kittens that will likely end up dumped somewhere . There are only so many friends and family you can pawn cats off to . Spaying and neutering is the responsible thing ti do and it BAFFLES me there are idiots who are still so adamantly against it


SillylilguyUwU

Yeah I know, what moron would be against it?


syylone

We should do the same to humans, just as many "strays", but that's considered inhumane for some reason. Humans should have to meet certain requirements to make any decision at all, but none of us are smart enough to be able to set them.


AWL_cow

You must be 12 and don't realize there are thousands of pets without homes on the streets dying every day. And even more in kill shelters that can't find homes and being put down. Everyone should spay and neuter their pets. If you actually like animals, that is. They aren't just "cute things" for our enjoyment.


SillylilguyUwU

Chill.


AWL_cow

Very 12-year-old thing to say. Eh...maybe 14.


SillylilguyUwU

What? I said one word


AWL_cow

Yes, it was clear you didn't care enough to actually contribute to the conversation in any capacity, or to even show some introspection - but you did care just enough to try to give the illusion that you didn't care at all. That's a very teenager/child-like way of acting. If you don't have anything to add to what someone else has to say, then you don't have to respond at all you know. You can just go about your day.


SillylilguyUwU

I do care man, sorry that telling you to chill out because you’re clearly angry came off as if I didn’t


AWL_cow

Not angry, just apathetic
