How do cats look after their young?
A mother cat provides her kittens with food, protection and warmth. Newborn kittens are born deaf, blind, toothless and unable to stand and remain so for the first week or two of their lives. Once the kittens find their feet, they will start to play and explore their surroundings, but will stay close to their mother. Kittens will often run to their mother's side if she calls. Wild, and even domestic cats will move her kittens elsewhere if she feels the nest is not safe, or feels she does not want to draw attention to potential predators who would otherwise pick up the scent of the kittens. When the kittens are around six weeks old, they will start to take interest in their mother's food. The mother will often bring soft cat food, or if in the wild, dead prey to her offspring to eat. In a wild environment, a mother cat will eventually bring alive animals to her kittens so they can learn and practise how to hunt and kill for themselves.
