Mothers end up doing the majority of the child-rearing effort in the feline world. Cat fathers aren’t renowned for being «paternal,» and they normally avoid their children.
When the mother cat produced a litter of kittens, she presumably assumed she’d be alone, but in a wonderful turn of events, dad came to greet them.
In these unique and sweet photos, the mother is seen sleeping with her infants as the father walks about looking at them. Before welcoming his kittens, he gives his mother a delicate kiss and appears to check in with her before looking across to the infants.
Both the mom and the dad were born with a genetic abnormality that causes osteochondrodysplasia, which most of their children are expected to inherit.
Cats born with the condition frequently have severe disease at a young age, as well as renal disease and cardiac difficulties.
The «bent» look of their ears is due to their thin cartilage. Fortunately, both cats and kittens are doing well right now! Despite their circumstances, kids should all be able to stay healthy and prosper.
