Mother Cat Retrieves Crying Kitten from Toddler

Even though it's a good idea to raise your little one around animals because they can teach each other about friendship and fair play, toddlers can sometimes be rough with them due to their lack of understanding on how to handle animals properly.

It might be cute to watch your child play with baby pets, but if you don't intervene when they start pulling tails or squeezing too hard, the mother animal will likely step in.

This toddler is fortunate enough to grow up with a litter of Siamese kittens, and she clearly loves them. We see her holding one of the kittens gently in her arms, but the kitten cries loudly, prompting the mama cat to come to the rescue.

At first, the toddler resists the mother cat’s attempts to take the kitten, pushing the cat away. After a few attempts, the mama cat, hearing her kitten's distress, stands on her hind legs, grabs the kitten from the toddler, and quickly returns it to the litter.

The little girl is left in tears, shocked and upset to lose her new best friend. Thankfully, grandpa is there to console her. Sometimes, tough decisions are necessary in parenting.

Mother cats are very protective of their kittens. They have their own ideas about safety and will often find secluded, hard-to-reach spots for birthing.

Everyone loves small, cute kittens, but mama cats dislike it when people touch their babies. It’s not that your cat suddenly hates you or has other priorities; she just wants to keep her kittens safe.

Don’t be offended if she hides her kittens from you. It’s not because you did something wrong; she prefers a safe, quiet, and secluded spot. If she finds a place like that in the house, she’ll choose it over the location you provided. To help, ensure she has fresh water and food in her chosen spot.

While you might be eager to hold and cuddle the kittens, or if you have small children, don’t let them play with the kittens until the mama cat is ready.
