That's what they do. Usually when people find "kittens abandoned by their mother" she's actually in transit to a new location with one or scouting for a new location. Not that she couldn't end up dead before coming back...but usually people just interfere

Clip is too short. It will give you epileptic seizures after watching on repeat for just 30 seconds. The material is good, we just need to increase the distance the kitten is being carried. At least a 12 second carry distance would be more satisfactory to the viewer.

She is a very good mommy. What kind of cat is she? Her markings are very striking.

[–]viennawaits 2 points3 points ago*

Her markings are beautiful. Anyone have an idea what breed she is?

[–]lengthynewt 0 points1 point ago

She's a tabby. Forget the exact name but I'm sure a Google search would yield the specific type. I'm on my phone or else I'd check for you.

you know how we look at lions a and other animals and looks at their animal social hierarchy in documentaries and such , I'm so much more interested in those kinds of aspects in household pets, such as cats dogs, hamsters. that would be some shit to watch

It's an instinctive reaction to being lifted by the scruff of their neck, so neither party is harmed during transport.

Sadly, I only know this because of Reddit.

[–]CaptainNibbles 10 points11 points ago

[–]hoblod 2 points3 points ago

Holding your cat by the back of their neck is also useful for maintaining a still body to do whatever you need to do(brushing for me) though of course how i learned this is through two kitten births. Ah what fun days were had cleaning up the afterbirth!~

ah it even reminds me of that one time during birth session number two of momma cat walking around and plopping a kitten onto the carpet with a soft thump! i laughed for a good minute when that happened

tl;dr kitten birth shenanigans

You can put a clothespin on their neck scruff when you need to trim their claws. It keeps them (safely) paralyzed for a few moments. Don't leave it there for very long though.
