In this pic, a stray cat is introducing its kitten to a neighborhood home, and the kitten isn’t exactly going about it in a cool way. The mom seems to be on a desperate hunt for daycare and seems perfectly fine with her kitten going inside a stranger’s house.
Of course, stray cats often rely on friendly houses for food and shelter when times get tough, so maybe this is a common sight for this house. Still, the mom looks ready for the kitten to take a nap so she can get a little bit of peace and quiet.
Maybe I'll Get to Eat One of These Days
While human moms don't really have to go through this exact thing, we think the sentiment is a known quality. This poor pooch mom is getting drained dry, while her bowl of tasty, nutritious food is waiting right there, but the puppies have to finish first.
Long-time parents might get used to not being able to get their own food until the kids are done, but at the beginning, it can be quite the adjustment. Don't worry Mom, your food will be there when the kids are full and you finally have a minute.
Ready to Let Loose
Like father, like son, they say, and that doesn't just apply to humans. It looks like dogs follow the same route, and these two howling hounds are ready to start filling the neighborhood with noise.
Junior might not have all the sharp chompers that Dad has, but there's plenty of time to add those to the mix. The pose is the same, the mouth is open the same way – this is the kind of pic that gets a spot on the mantle. Dad is looking straight at the camera, so we wonder if this is a common trick that the owners have taught.
Sleeping Just Like Dad
Pictures of kids sleeping with their moms, dads, or grandparents are the kinds of things that a family will treasure forever, even if it isn't a human family. While it looks like this could have been a mom, most ginger cats are male – the orange color is spread to the children through the X chromosome, which makes it much easier for an orange kitty to be male.
One way or another, it's a wonderful image that has three happy cats cuddling up together. There are lots of learned behaviors for animals, and a favorite sleeping pose seems to be one of them.
Learning From the Best
Is this a yawn or a roar? It could be either for the bigger cat, but the youngin' probably doesn't have the pipes required to make much noise. Still, getting the motion right is a good way to start practicing. Likely this little cat is just doing what Mom or Dad is doing to try and fit in.
Both seem pretty happy about the improvement that the kitten is showing. Is the parent proud? It kind of looks like it.
