Cats are mysterious creatures that have lived side by side with humans since ancient times.

Among the main features of these animals are their tenderness and charm. They also have other traits that sometimes baffle their owners - for example, the habit of bringing kittens to "their" person.

We invite you to find out what could be the reason for such a desire of a cat.

Maternal instinct

Perhaps the main (or one of the main) reasons why a cat can bring her kittens is her innate instinct to care for her offspring. So the purrs strive to create the most comfortable conditions for the development of their kittens.

Safety

Cats care for their babies and strive to protect them from various dangers. We are convinced that sometimes the thought creeps into the heads of pets that the safest place for kittens is their owner's home.

Socialization

Cats can also “transport” kittens under the wing of a person for their socialization, so that the younger generation gets used to people and learns to trust them.

Warmth and comfort

As is well known, cats love warmth, so they bring their babies into a heated home. They probably think that the kittens will be surrounded by warmth and comfort here.

Earlier we discussed why cats turn their tails towards their owner's face.
