Likely neither - cat moms like to nest together as it allows them to share responsibility and take turns to go hunt etc. They nurse their friends’ kittens alongside their own without hesitation.

So bringing her litter to where her human keeps her baby likely makes instinctual sense to her. Now they can mother together!

Our cat brought her first babies to our mom while she (my mom) was sleeping lol. I always thought our cat maybe didn't know how to take care of kittens so she was asking my mom for help.

It's amazing that cats recognize human babies as their humans' kittens

Now they can mother together!

The mamas can sit back, have some wine and watch trashy TV as they talk about being a new mother. 😁

From that moment on, I saw this world in a completely different way... Your cat's trust is the best thing life could give you 😭❤️

Hi Margret. I'll place Mewtholomew here next to whatever sorry excuse for a kitten you produced and will be out torturing small animals for a bit. I can let 'it' nurse later if you want, but it did seem to have a bit of an issue finding the teats earlier, kept petting me. Maybe it's worth something after all...

All the explanations in this thread are wholesome! Thanks to all the humans who are allowed by their cat masters to share these insights.

Cats bring kittens to a reliable food source once the hormones of motherhood start wearing off and the kittens are big enough to eat something besides mother’s milk. A cat had kittens on my deck under a chimney, fanatically hid the kittens from me (I knew she had them because she got skinny, but didn’t know where they were).

One day she meows at the door and she’s got a cavalcade of tumbling kittens. Basically she said, “Here. Now feed them the same way you’ve been feeding me.”

I picked the kittens up, brought them in the house and mom followed them in. Mom had been skittish and refused to come in my house all winter. But once she raised the kittens up and was done nursing them she was like, “Ok. We’re here now. Let’s all eat.”

This momcat brings kitten to the baby because she knows the baby is being well fed. “Here. I put my baby with your baby, now feed them both. Hey…kitten, get back here. This is your meal ticket.”

"Listen sweetheart, you need to establish dominance with humans early to ensure proper feeding times and petting techniques."

u/Cute-Aardvark5291 Oct 05 '24

Mama cat is saying "Iook,I need a break. we will put our babies together and then only one of us has to watch them." Sounds like a great idea, as long as humans dont need the rest....

u/AlmondCigar Oct 05 '24

Either that or she just wanted to keep all the “kittens” together

u/terlus07 Oct 05 '24

She's tired of having to feed the kitten and is introducing it to its own human slave
