Unraveling the Mysteries of Strange Cat Behaviors

Mother Knows Best

Despite their reputation for being aloof or indifferent, cats actually exhibit nurturing and devoted behavior as mothers. They spend hours caring for and grooming their kittens, providing essential life lessons. Mother cats initiate their lessons on hunting when the kittens are just a few weeks old. Initially, they introduce them to prey through dead specimens and later progress to live targets!

In addition to hunting skills, the mother teaches her kittens what to eat, how to bury waste, and how to socialize properly. If you thought your own parents were strict, imagine facing an angry mama cat!
