😭 Mother cats care for their kittens with constant attention and instinctive precision. They keep newborns warm by nesting and body contact, stimulate breathing and digestion by licking them, and nurse them frequently with nutrient rich milk. Grooming keeps the kittens clean and helps them learn basic hygiene, while gentle carrying by the scruff allows the mother to move them to safety. As the kittens grow, she teaches boundaries and basic social behavior through soft corrections, gradually encouraging independence while still protecting them. (Via ViralHog) #cats
