It's instinctual. If they're both tired from caring for their babies they can't hunt or protect the litters so they share caring and hunting responsibilities. This behaviour is seen in lions too.

[@hennessya96]

Its really strong in felines and other mammals. I think there are odd outliers in other groups that do it, arguably colonoy insects, bjt that feels too much like an assembly line. Community parenting as opposed to 2, 1 or none in most other animals is really beneficial in passing down experience and techniques and in terms of protecting young.

[@paulatreat2496]

[@thecarpenters29]

Thanks for sharing. Knowledge is power. They can’t explain. But we can share.

[@ClowncarSupreme]

It also shows in canines, specifically wolves! when the mated pair("alphas", though that is an innacurate term. Never use that pls) gives their yearlings(one year olds that are old enough to start learning how to be a wolf) parenting experience before they disperse to find their own mates by leaving them with the current season's litter of pups while they hunt for their pack. A lot of social animals have some sort of communal daycare thing going on, actually. African wild dogs, hyenas, wolves, lions and elephants are only a few of many off the top of my head. EDIT CAUSE I THOUGHT MORE ABOUT WOLVES AND I REALLY LIKE WOLVES SO ILL DUMP THIS HERE: The wolf thing i mentioned earlier, i should have said, includes both male and female yearlings. Though males sometimes are quicker to disperse than females on average, it is not a norm or even expected of the pups until after 2 years, some even never leave their birth pack as well and serve their pack as subordinate wolves, they usually hunt alongside the mated pair or are left at the den to serve as a lookout for predators and rival wolf packs. The message here is that sometimes in life people tell you how you should be and its just a box that will never fit for you. Be who you need to be for your sake. You don't have to get married or have a family or even move out of the house to be happy.

The kittens and mama cats are adorable. I found the humans though quite ignorant.

I found them beyond ignorant at this. It's like - if the orange cat is moving the kittens, there is a reason. Stop moving them back to 'help' causes both mamas stress. Ignorance annoys me and the two were the epitome of it.

Cats are truly phenomenal mommas

[@lanalubach454]

What a lovely and amazing partnership they have!❤

[@melissabarrett9750]

They talked about it... Telepathically

[@Eric_Hunt194]

They care for their humans too... years ago, my kitty Jasmine would get skittish at random times, and I was confused... however, I've had type 1 diabetes since I was a kid, and eventually I noticed that her odd behaviour coincided with my blood sugar levels dropping- she could sense it before I could, and she was trying to warn me!

[@aiidaa92]

Oh this brought tears to my eyes 🥹 such a beautiful act ❤️❤️❤️

The cutest thing. I've seen this before with my own cats but the difference is that one of my cats had lost her kittens as they were ill and other cat allowed her to share in the nursing of her kittens so she didn't feel the loss of her own. Wonderful examples of care and kindness.

[@jennabrooks1690]

That is so sweet. Made my heart hurt

[@francesca6301]

I had a cat who developed milk to nurse my other cat's kittens with her. She never had kittens of her own but her mother instinct was so strong. She was the best kitty.

[@therealdeal3672]

Cheeto was not taking the babies she was giving her buddy girlfriend Mommy a break! What a friend! How beautiful is that?? All the babies got what they need and all the Mamas got what they needed.

You've got a lion pride. That's how they do it in the wild. They all take care of each others babies. I think that's just amazing and awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this video❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LegendHold1]

I was just going to say this. It's NORMAL for sisters in a lion pride to take care of their sisters babies to allow the sister to hunt and drink and take a break. Not unusual at all.

[@handles_are_dumb_01]

It’s amazing how similar housecats and various types of wildcats really are.

[@josephinetracy1485]

There's nothing stupider than a "YT shorts" commenter. There ZERO chance that these cats will remain together. They will all be split up shortly you idiots!

[@milferdjones2573]

@@handles_are_dumb_01 Yes the behavior stays quite similar over all the whole feline line. There are big differences in some areas but overall behavior the same. And when forced together in zoo's naturally lonner cats normally get along well. Based on seeing Mother cat with my family when I was small have all of two litters one day unable to stand each other and scater to various places in the house I believe most of the scattering happens then in cats. Late 60's early 70's not recent we know better now. But some big cats break pattern and stay together as pairs in some cases even for the loner variety.

[@barbaraolson6783]

Co-parenting may be normal and necessary in the wild. Very loving. Thank you for posting.

[@melodypulpog7389]

She knows she's tired from just giving birth so she had to care for her babies for new mama to rest. She had experience so she knows. Love them.

[@danaventura3236]

Every new mom needs a friend like Cheeto! This is absolutely precious!! What an amazing kitty!

Where did humans lose the importance of being there for one another on a basic level. This is beautiful.

That’s why we’re all depressed because we’ve been lied to about being tough and doing it all on your own. We’re just not designed for this kind of living.

[@Veklim]

You have 2 cats there who are in absolute trust with each other, that's a pride right there.

[@lilliebrown6320]

I had cats who did this too. I just let them do what they wanted. It was so sweet!! They took care of each other!!

I learned this as a child and I thought it was so cool that they helped each other like that.

[@awitness4jehovah]

I was in my 20's when I learned it. I had a cat colony for several years. Whether related or not, if the cats accepted each other, all nursing moms would take care of all of the kittens as needed.Grandma cats nursing the kittens of her daughters; daughters nursing their younger siblings; siblings and strangers all helping out. I was blown away by the whole thing lol

Most felines are group creatures. They live communally and raise children communally. There are a few exceptions, which I hope a kind KZbinr will list later, but it’s a pretty big thing in the Feline world.

I unexpectedly have a community of cats develop around my house over last 2 years. From one I found eyes still closed outside. we learned to take care of him bottle feeding every 2 hours. Now at epidemic level with 22 of them! I have learned so much more about them than I thought I did. Always a cat person. Now verging on crazy cat man!
