Grumpy Grandma Cat Babysits Her Grandkittens

Maine Coon Luna is the grandmother of Freya's little kittens.
Luna likes to be in the kitten room, but she usually keeps some distance between her and the kittens and she is a bit grumpy around them. But today, she might accept to babysit the kittens for a little while!

People mistake hissing for a sign of aggression, but in cat-speak, hissing is just a way of communicating boundaries. Cats will do it both when forced into an uncomfortable situation, and when they've decided to expose themselves to something outside of their comfort zone. Luna's hisses aren't aggressive, they're her way of communicating she's not ready for snuggles, play time, none of that hooblah, she just wants to observe right now, and maybe she'll be ready later.

[@rdavis7350]

Luna isn't 'grumpy', she is venerable.

I always love watching cats sniffing out things. "sneef snorf sneef sneef snorf sneef snorf sneef snorf"

[@eugeniaskelley5194]

Luna looks like she is saying "I remember you an your siblings when you were that age. Keep them away from me." or " I told you this is what happens when you hooked up with that Tom Cat."

[@velvety2006]

Freya: dear bastet my nipples are sore luna: yea you were a little biter when you were that age, but at least you did not keep me awake all night with the crying like your sibling did'

[@ChillHills]

I think it was the first part. But the hiss was because she hasn’t bathed them.

[@farhanatashiga3721]

Loved the ending. Luna is adjusting to the idea of grand kittens and spending time with them, but she still makes time to spend with her daughter. Luna's a good momma cat.

Shame about the hissing, but I think Luna's coming round. She's been gentle with the kittens, and it's lovely to see Luna and Freya lying next to eachother at the end. Merry Christmas to all the cats, and I hope they all get something nice from Santa Paws this year!

[@Mr-__-Sy]

I think the hissing was just Luna scolding her daughter for not being a better mom

[@shawbros]

The hissing was funny.

[@theirishviking9278]

hissing is normal for cats around kittens cant remember the full reason but its part because of all the new scents and the changed scent of the mother

[@Ad_Inferno]

​@@theirishviking9278This makes sense. In my experience having had cats all my life (as well as the matriarch having a similar reaction to bringing a kitten home but being fine with an adult newcomer), I had assumed the hissing - without any growling or body language indicating aggression - is one of two things: expressing that "This is something new and I'm uncomfortable with it," or it's in service of establishing hierarchy. Just complete guesses on my part, though.

[@noneya1238]

Gunna cancel a car because if hissing? They're cats.

[@tinaballinger2903]

Yes i believe Freya is much more relaxed with her mother. And i believe Freya is giving Luna the idea that she is needed a much deserved break. I love when Ada just sits and stares. Ada dont miss one thing. They are so so adorable❤

Luna is tolerant, but she's not exactly overflowing with goodwill and Christmas cheer! At least she's sniffing the kittens, so she's getting more familiar with them. It looks like she'll accept them, without being overly affectionate. I wonder how Buster and Dexter will react? Thank you and Merry Christmas from Toronto.

[@lavishwhisper6753]

Yay Toronto! ✌️

[@briankleinschmidt3664]

Remember the old saying, "Someday you'll have kids of your own."? It is like Freya was saying, "You were right, ma."

[@gfhit7520]

lol Luna just wants her space and visit the grandkittens at her terms! (good luck with that when they'll start running around for the whole house) They're still rather foreign objects and we know she likes to be on her own. I like though that she's warming up to them (again, at her terms) and that Freya is not bothered when Luna hisses, she clearly know she's not menacing or anything. The last scene with mom and daughter on the bed is sweet and it doesn't seem that there is any lingering tension.

[@lindaward5376]

I'm looking forward to when the kittens meet Uncle Buster; they'll have so much fun together! 🐈 🐈 😸 😸 😸 😸 😸 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MtnNerd]

Some old cats randomly hiss because they have aches and pains

[@lancebot8224]

​@@MtnNerdso pretty much them saying something like "ow my back"?

[@MtnNerd]

@@lancebot8224 Yes exactly

[@kemipue]

Lol cats can have kittens really young and it’s not good to breed them older so while I don’t know these cats, Luna could be between 2 and 6 years old as a grandma cat which isn’t even middle aged so I don’t think she’s quite at the ow my back stage! She just maybe looks older than she is because of the Maine Coon features. Cats hiss when they’re scared and unsure and when there’s new smells. I think she was just nervous at coming near the mum cat (even though it’s her daughter) and going near her kittens but also because the kittens are cats she’s not familiar with. My cats have lived together for years but they have favourite bedrooms they hang out in and rarely see each other when they’re at opposite ends of the house, so sometimes hiss because they’re stupidly scared of this cat they know but haven’t seen for 2 days… Think it’s an instinct thing as most wild cats don’t live in groups but go around by themselves. 😊

[@MtnNerd]
