Some pet owners of mother cats may always bring their cubs to themselves after giving birth to a kitten. Many shovelers believe that this is a sign of the cat trusting its owner.
In fact, the female cat brings the child to you not because she trusts you, she thinks so.
1. The female cat thinks it is not its child
When the female cat is pregnant and giving birth, it will produce oxytocin in the body. This oxytocin will stimulate the female cat's instinct to take care of the cubs and make the female cat feel a sense of responsibility. This is what we often call motherhood.
But it may be due to various reasons, such as the female cat has a caesarean section or the cub is contaminated with a strange aura, which makes it unable to tell that it is its own child. At this time, the female cat may not only bring the cub to the owner, but may even treat the cub as an enemy and attack the cub.
So the female cat brings you the cub, maybe it’s not because she trusts you, it just thinks it’s not its child.
2. The child is sick, I hope you can save it
The newly born cub has a relatively poor physical condition. If you don’t pay attention, you may get sick. When the female cat finds that its child is abnormal and she is powerless, it may think of its owner and hopes that its owner can save its child.
So if your mother cat looks anxious when she holds the cub to you, the pet owner must pay attention and check the cub's body in time. If the situation is serious, then send it to the hospital to prevent the situation from getting worse and worse.
3. It's too troublesome to take care of children. I want to be a hand-off manager
In fact, not all female cats are masculine. Some female cats will not love their cubs at all even if they give birth to kittens, and may even feel troublesome.
Especially for the female cat who is pregnant for the first time and has a baby, because of inexperience, they will inevitably feel at a loss and feel that the child is just a trouble, making them unable to live a life of eating as much as they want and sleeping as they want.
In order to have a good life, the female cat will also bring the child to the owner for her care, so she will be a hand-off manager and only give birth to her but not raise her.
So the female cat brings you the child, not trusting you, it may just want to make itself more comfortable.
4. Female cat wants to abandon children
In fact, in nature, animals follow the rules of survival of the fittest, even brothers and sisters are no exception.
If the female cat has too many children in a nest and feels that it cannot take care of it and its own milk is not enough to feed all the children, then it will pick out the cubs with poor physical fitness, "give up" them directly, and then leave the energy and "resources" to the stronger children.
Although this is cruel, the female cat is just to improve the survival rate of the child.
So if you find that the female cat can't take care of so many children and pick up the cubs, you must help take care of them and try to keep all the kittens alive.
5. Introduce you to know, and want you to adopt it,
Cats are very smart animals. They know that they can have a warm home and have no worries about food and clothing, because the owner provides it with them, and the owner is its "food and clothing parents".
Cats hope that their children can live a carefree life, so they will bring their cubs to their owners to introduce them to you. They also hope that the soft and cute cubs can impress their owners and adopt their children. Sure enough, "the love of parents is a far-reaching plan for it", which is applicable to any animal.
6. When a kitten is breastfeeding, it bites and hurts it
When the kitten is just born, the female cat will feed the child. At this time, the kitten has no teeth, and the female cat will not feel anything.
But as the cat grows slowly and starts to grow teeth, when it is feeding milk, it may bite the cat hurts. At this time, the female cat also knows that it is time to quit breastfeeding for the kitten.
So the female cat will hold the cub to the owner. On the one hand, it wants to isolate itself from the kitten, and on the other hand, it wants the owner to prepare cat food for the child and help feed them.
Conclusion: Will your cat bring your cubs to you?
