Some pet owners of foster cats said that after giving birth, their cats will hold the cat to themselves, and they feel that the cat trusts them very much.
Is the female cat holding the child to you because she trusts you? Then you are wrong.
1. The female cat wants to abandon the child
The female cat brings the child to you because she trusts you, then you are wrong. In fact, in nature, animals follow the rules of survival of the fittest, even brothers and sisters are no exception.
If the female cat gave birth to a litter of children, some of which are poor in physical condition or even sick, and the female cat feels that it cannot be fed, it will take the child away and then leave all its energy and "resources" to the strong children to improve the survival rate of the cubs. Although this is cruel, this is the rule of nature.
So the female cat brings you the cub, maybe she just wants you to help deal with its child.
2. The female cat thinks it is not its child
When the female cat is pregnant and giving birth, the body will produce oxytocin . This chemical can stimulate the bitch to take care of the child and will also make it feel responsible. This is what we often call motherhood.
But if a cat born with caesarean section does not produce enough oxytocin, it may not be able to distinguish its child. At this time, it will not only bring the cub to its owner, abandon the cub, but will even treat the cub as an opponent and hurt it.
The female cat brought the child to you, just thinking that this is not its child, not because of trusting you.
3. Share the joy of being a mother with you
If you have been with the cat for a long time, it will slowly accept you and even fall in love with you. If a cat has a deep affection for you, then it is willing to share with you no matter what happens.
In the eyes of cats, having children is a very happy thing, so it brings the children to you, in fact, to share with you the joy of being a mother!
4. When the child is sick, ask you for help
Newborn kittens have poor resistance, so they are particularly prone to illness. When the female cat finds that there is something abnormal about her child and she has no way to save it, she will think of her "parents of food and clothing" - the owner.
If the female cat brings the child in front of you and looks anxious, it is likely that the cub is sick, which is a signal to ask for help. At this time, the pet must check the kitten's body as soon as possible. If the condition is serious, it must be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
5. In order to save trouble, raise
Some cats do not adapt well to their mother's identity. In addition, they have just given birth and their physical condition is still relatively weak, and taking care of the cubs makes it feel hard and troublesome. So in order to save trouble, the female cat may take the cub to the owner and ask the owner to help take care of and feed it. Anyway, in the eyes of the cat, the owner is just a tool for feeding and shoveling poop.
6. When the cub is breastfeeding, it bites and hurts it
When the kitten is just born, the female cat will feed it. At this time, the kitten has no teeth, and the female cat will not feel too big. But as the kitten grows slowly and starts to grow teeth, when it is breastfeeding, it will bite the female cat with pain.
When this happens to the kitten, it is also a reminder for the female cat to quit breastfeeding. So the female cat will take the child to the owner, hoping that the owner can prepare cat food for it.
Cats have just started to produce cat food. Pet owners can use goat milk powder to soak the cat food softly and feed it. When the cat is 3 months old, they can eat dry food directly. Cat food at this stage is a critical time for growth and development. It must be nutritious. It is recommended to choose a comprehensive cat food as the staple food.
