If the cat living in your home expresses its willingness to take care of its offspring, congratulations, you have a unique pet.
In general, the representatives of the stronger sex become indifferent to cats immediately after the end of the mating season, and kittens do not arouse their interest at all.
Let's try to find out why nature has arranged it so that cats have to drag out the unenviable existence of single mothers.
Let's start with the fact that representatives of the feline family are territorial animals by nature.
Both males and females are territorial, as they do not tolerate strangers in their domain, except for that very short mating season.
Both “men” and “women” among the cats are able to get their own food – moreover, the cat goes hunting in the first days after giving birth.
Therefore, having a cat nearby is not a necessity and is even considered a direct threat to the younger generation.
Therefore, the cats themselves do not allow their fathers to approach the kittens, and if suddenly the unfortunate father shows a desire to get to know them better, then it is quite possible that he will have to meet the sharp claws and teeth of the mother, who is zealously protecting the kittens.
