Knowing cats' logic, I'm pretty sure they realize that they are both vulnerable because they both have to take care of their babies at the same time. The smartest thing to do is just to let one take care of all the babies while the other protects the territory and the nursing one.
Yeah Because this is probably the first time that they BOTH have kittens at the same time, so that Makes perfect sense that it's for the protection of the babies.....one watches the kittens while the other one can guard them if it comes to that & also it gives them a chance to get the rest they Need!!!!@@ramdam974

@@machochocolate7679 Alright dude, chill out. Pretty sure we can comprehend that the sentiment of their statement is that even "instinctual behaviors" like these are amazing to observe.
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.
@@michaelwillerton3685But it does?? Animals aren’t dumb, they are very emotionally intelligent, and just VERY smart in general. Especially cats. This video is another example of that.
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.
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.
fun fact: this kind of behavior is very normal in cat colonies! Mothers help co-parent each other's litters, allowing each other to get food and rest as they need. Keeps kittens from getting cold or growing hungry, and everyone is safe and comfy :)

@@Skelterbane69 If anything you need to get over yourself, because you're assuming we're/you're so special that you're part of the only species capable of feeling any of that. By that logic it's instinct for us too, we're just more intelligent about how we go about that instinct. Mammals do have basic feelings like love, rage, sadness, etc. Assuming a cat hitting another cat for annoying it is instinct instead of some anger starting to manifest is illogical. Idk about them having thoughts though, cause orange cats are some of the most brain dead cats I know lmao. Clearly no thought behind those eyes 9 times out of 10. But yeah, mammals do have emotions, we just have more of them because we're more intelligent than they are and are capable of processing things on a deeper level than them..
@@YourePotentiallyIncorrectyes a lot of What We do emotionally is based on instinct. Also the other writer never talked about this. It only said it was instinct a lot which it is. So I don’t get why that writer is being “attacked” About cats having thoughts = logic. For sure they have. And I guess all is different my orange cat is really clever. He can turn lights on and off. Open drawers and doors. And I am pretty sure some of those behaviors is not coming from pure chance > good result behavior loop
Humans are literally just a species of African apes. Of course other animals have emotions. They're all just distant cousins of ours. Mostly just mammals and birds though. Reptiles don't really have emotionally complex brains.
Cheeto was acting as a nurse when Mellow was getting overwhelmed. A smart cat and an enduring friendship saved the kittens and the situation. How wonderful!
Six weeks ago, our two sister cats had kittens. We have one orange kitten we named Cheetoh. In total, there were 13 kittens, but sadly, two didn't survive.
What’s nice is that they are both mamas, they understand each other! They understand the importance of time-off and needing help with little kittens. That’s so heartwarming!
@@shirosatsuma4946 Wow, that's a totally unnecessary and judgmental assumption you're making there. 🤔 I NEVER SAID they "think like humans". YOU SAID "They're cats. They don't 'think'. They just do what their instincts tell them to do." (Just as a side note, I'm 69, and I haven't watched cartoons since my grown children were young. Unless you count watching the morons in government destroying our country right now! 😂) Since you said, they're cats. They don't "think", I simply asked the question "How do YOU KNOW they don't 'think'?" 🤷🏼♀️ And apparently, you DON'T know that, because as you will see stated in just this ONE article here, about cat research (of MANY) cats are a lot smarter than you give them credit: "Cats have highly developed and complex brains, which means THEY ARE CAPABLE OF COMPLEX PROBLEM-SOLVING AS WELL AS THINKING. Domestic cats still have many of the same instincts and traits as their wild ancestors, and they exhibit some complex and fascinating behaviors. And there’s plenty of science to back it all up." See for yourself: cats.com/what-do-cats-think-about 🐾🐾
@Dogspark841 there are many other forms of communication besides human speech and comments on YT vids lol. Animals communicate very effectively using body language etc.
I wish I could "double love" this video to show how much pride I have for the cats, but also for the human mama to pause and recognize that the cats were telling her something so she should pause and just watch. Beautiful from all mamas involved. Love it.

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!
@@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.
She said "we are family, we do this together! Her babies are my babies, and milk is milk. As long as the kids are fed, and we get time to take care of ourselves, we're happy." This is so beautiful ! Sister moms helping each other out! ❤
It’s like em and my sister but we don’t have babies when we I’m struggling with cleaning my room or the kitchen she helps me out and when she struggling with her depression I just sit in her bed and hug her because she doesn’t like to talk about stuff like that
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.
Most felines are group creatures. They live communally and raise children communally. There are a few exceptions, which I hope a kind RUclipsr 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! There needs to be more understanding of this beautiful creature.
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.
Cheeto understood how hard and exhausting labor is and gave Mellow the day to recoup. That’s very sweet and intuitive. Mellow understood and gave her a break once she got some rest. Aweeeee
This is what feral outside cats due. It’s so cool they take care of each others kittens. & the other mother would take a break eat, play & bathroom, then relieve the mother sitting for her, so she could go do what she wants or needs & so on. I would not have believed they would do this as feral cats…it was amazing.
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
Plus it’s what females do when they live in their colonies, a cat colony can have 50+ members coexisting; any of the mamas will watch another’s babies. Sometimes if there aren’t enough mama cats yet, the boys will take care of the kittens, for the mother and it’s usually the one with the best bond with the mama; they have to be from the same colony for this to work, without stressing the mama out. (Cows will ponder off their children with one cow, usually a cow that doesn’t have its own baby; it ends up being the 1 year old or one that hasn’t had a baby yet that gets the baby sitting job. Wolves will ponder off their new pups, with their older female children, if they don’t want to deal with their youngest offsprings.)
It takes a village... If animals were free, this is what we would see on a larger scale. This warms my heart. Thank you for being so attentive, so you could understand the situation then ultimately letting the mama's be Mama's. You have a Home full of love and trust. I absolutely love this story. Congratulations Mellow and Cheeto!!! ❤ I hope you keep us posted.
She was offering respite to the mother cat who just gave birth, knowing a moment alone, getting some water and using the litter box is what she needed! ❤ animals are such beautiful. Blessings.

I rescued a female stray kitten one day that was lost in the woods. After a few years I rescued another stray kitten that had one blind eye. My female cat nursed him, protected him from other stray cats and even taught him how to hunt in my garden (like climbing and all sorts of tricks) it was so precious to watch. They are both adults now but she still cleans him and cares for him like he’s her baby. Animals are so sweet.
Awwww she was like “you are going to take a break and I am going to care for your babies!!!!!!”. It is so beautiful. I’ve watched this like 30 times 😂❤
I LOVE THIS STORY!! We underestimate the intelligence of animals, because they don't speak our language. This is a prefect example that they're a lot smarter and caring, then so many think! Beautiful ❤
And as with this example, we’ve learned many skills and values from other animals. We could learn so much more if we’d just remember that we are still animals, too. ❤

@@mycreations318 how neat is it that we had the chance to witness such a grand loving gesture from one heart to another 🥰 Such a beautiful thing to witness. And the mama looked like she needed a break and she definitely was fine with her sister watching them. So neat. Nothing like having a babysitter on paw whenever you feel overwhelmed as a new parent to nine🤭☺️
My two sisters did the same thing but they didn't move the kittens they just had one place for all 9 kittens and just swaped the parenting time so one of them could have some time of from the absolute best fur tornado in the household they had a place on top of a large cattree that we had and the kittens was not able to get up so they were all alone up there sleeping and resting for their next shift to begin 😂😂❤❤❤
Cats moms are very good at helping each other when they're family ore friends
Just saying 🇳🇴

@@yvindwestersund9720 Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story. I had wondered, is this natural and not often witnessed or is it a uniquely bonded pair it requires to show this love and trust? That's so neat they both stayed with each other. It must have been madness in your house in a great way once the kittens grew a little bigger. What fun! Thank you again for sharing!🙏💛💛💛

Cats are at their core Social Animsls and its seen by Mother Cats of all types sharing maternal duties
A Mom supporting another Mom… beautiful teamwork and friendship!
The two moms supported one another . What a beautiful thing.
It's literally proof that cats have thoughts, feelings and emotions similar to people, just a set of beautiful mothers who understand each other

@@Skelterbane69 Let bro have his moment dam 😭
@@Skelterbane69 If anything you need to get over yourself, because you're assuming we're/you're so special that you're part of the only species capable of feeling any of that.
By that logic it's instinct for us too, we're just more intelligent about how we go about that instinct. Mammals do have basic feelings like love, rage, sadness, etc. Assuming a cat hitting another cat for annoying it is instinct instead of some anger starting to manifest is illogical.
Idk about them having thoughts though, cause orange cats are some of the most brain dead cats I know lmao. Clearly no thought behind those eyes 9 times out of 10. But yeah, mammals do have emotions, we just have more of them because we're more intelligent than they are and are capable of processing things on a deeper level than them..
@@YourePotentiallyIncorrectyes a lot of What We do emotionally is based on instinct. Also the other writer never talked about this. It only said it was instinct a lot which it is. So I don’t get why that writer is being “attacked”
About cats having thoughts = logic. For sure they have. And I guess all is different my orange cat is really clever. He can turn lights on and off. Open drawers and doors. And I am pretty sure some of those behaviors is not coming from pure chance > good result behavior loop
Humans are literally just a species of African apes. Of course other animals have emotions. They're all just distant cousins of ours.
Mostly just mammals and birds though. Reptiles don't really have emotionally complex brains.
It takes a village to raise a "child". This is beautiful. What an amazing connection these two cats have.
It takes a village to raise a child, and one to raise a suitable employee.
Or at least, that's how it be feeling.
Wise words.
She didn't give mama even a second to feel overwhelmed. 😍
She said, "Nope. WE got this! Now give me them babies!🗣"
This made my little heart melt! 🥰

This is so sweet. Makes me tear up a little.
Cheeto was acting as a nurse when Mellow was getting overwhelmed. A smart cat and an enduring friendship saved the kittens and the situation. How wonderful!
Six weeks ago, our two sister cats had kittens. We have one orange kitten we named Cheetoh. In total, there were 13 kittens, but sadly, two didn't survive.
They have their own little system. What precious, intelligent creatures.
Awe...❤ Animals instincts never cease to amaze me they are so intuitive. Mother nature is truly incredible Xx
What’s nice is that they are both mamas, they understand each other! They understand the importance of time-off and needing help with little kittens. That’s so heartwarming!
They're cats, they don't "understand". They just do whatever their instincts tell them
@@shirosatsuma4946we have something similar.
@@shirosatsuma4946 How do you know they don't "understand"?! 🤷🏼♀️
@SheilaDavis-nu4je They're animal's , they don't "think" like humans. If you think otherwise then you watch too much cartoons
@@shirosatsuma4946 Wow, that's a totally unnecessary and judgmental assumption you're making there. 🤔 I NEVER SAID they "think like humans". YOU SAID "They're cats. They don't 'think'. They just do what their instincts tell them to do."
(Just as a side note, I'm 69, and I haven't watched cartoons since my grown children were young. Unless you count watching the morons in government destroying our country right now! 😂)
Since you said, they're cats. They don't "think", I simply asked the question "How do YOU KNOW they don't 'think'?" 🤷🏼♀️
And apparently, you DON'T know that, because as you will see stated in just this ONE article here, about cat research (of MANY) cats are a lot smarter than you give them credit: "Cats have highly developed and complex brains, which means THEY ARE CAPABLE OF COMPLEX PROBLEM-SOLVING AS WELL AS THINKING. Domestic cats still have many of the same instincts and traits as their wild ancestors, and they exhibit some complex and fascinating behaviors. And there’s plenty of science to back it all up."

They knew what they were doing for each other. Animals communicate better than we do. I loved watching this! So sweet!
I wish we could communicate with Ye!
Edit: I meant to say animals but when I thought of animals, I also thought of Kanye 😂😂😂 hence why I said Ye!
If this is true they are better at communicating why don't you see any replies from cats here?
No, they don't.
❤
@Dogspark841 there are many other forms of communication besides human speech and comments on YT vids lol. Animals communicate very effectively using body language etc.
I wish I could "double love" this video to show how much pride I have for the cats, but also for the human mama to pause and recognize that the cats were telling her something so she should pause and just watch. Beautiful from all mamas involved. Love it.

It is spoken. In a cat language we don’t understand.

@@ynraider 💛Exactly And this is how women were before the toxicity of religion became a thing. Women were a continuous safe community. Putting our vulnerable young first. However, Abraham religions insist that women put a man first it goes against our nature!
@@ynraiderExactly right. They’re a perfect example, right out of Pieter Kropotkin’s book “Mutual Aid”. So like some of the other examples he wrote about, showing how much of a regular behavior that is, definitely not only that of humans.
Cheeto was giving Mellow a much-needed break. She understood the need for rest. What an angel.
This is real friendship. We had two cats who were so tight and diligent in keeping track of each other. Such a joy to watch and encourage.
She knows the postpartum struggle/exhaustion after giving birth and wanted to help 🥺 how cute! 💛
My exact thoughts 🥹💖🫶🏼
Modern women are so weak
Ok I would give them that much credit
That's how natural cat colonies work; all the females take turns caring the babies
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❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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.
It’s amazing how similar housecats and various types of wildcats really are.
@@handles_are_dumb_01 true instinct
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!
@@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.
She said "we are family, we do this together! Her babies are my babies, and milk is milk. As long as the kids are fed, and we get time to take care of ourselves, we're happy."
This is so beautiful ! Sister moms helping each other out! ❤
She was helping the new mama.. how amazing animals are.. bless you for creating us all Lord.. 😊❤..
She knew what she was doing. Team work makes the dream work! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I couldn't figure out who said it for a second, but Slater! Guy is a Crack up.
Sounds like lesbians 🤔 or polygamy gone in the right way .
It's so cute how Mellow just trusted her friend to take good care of her babies, and wasn't worried at all when her babies got moved, one by one.
It’s like em and my sister but we don’t have babies when we I’m struggling with cleaning my room or the kitchen she helps me out and when she struggling with her depression I just sit in her bed and hug her because she doesn’t like to talk about stuff like that
I love how she understood her best friends needs. I am impressed with her exchange of power/ control and relaxation..❤❤❤
same
I love the cat co-parenting! It's so cool when animals cooperate like that. They clearly have a strong, trusting bond.
This is absolutely amazing. They had an instinctive understanding. Cheeto was clearly annoyed when you kept undoing her work.
Mello probably wasn't too thrilled about it, either

Cats who usually grow up together will co-parent...an amazing event to witness. So glad your girls are loving mamas. Stay blessed.
this is how the two r that i mentioned-sisters/same litter-&-grew up together in our little feral colony😊❤🎉
Me cat never do this....,
Amazing the empathy cats feel, to co-parent the babies making it easy in both.
Cheeto took the lead and Mellow caught on.❤
Cats are truly phenomenal mommas
What a lovely and amazing partnership they have!❤
They talked about it... Telepathically
How beautiful! He was giving her a break. Cats are truly amazing!!!
They both have the mother instinct and are Co parenting, it's beautiful. They're great friends.
Or lesbian lover's i bet you feel pretty stupid assuming you know their relationship you should stay off the internet bud
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.
That is so sweet. Made my heart hurt
That’s adorable I didn’t realise domestic cats had that instinct - bless ‘em 🥹
Most felines are group creatures. They live communally and raise children communally. There are a few exceptions, which I hope a kind RUclipsr 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! There needs to be more understanding of this beautiful creature.
@@Rose_Red_Redmy cat never done this....
Absolutely beautiful, they are so loved and cared for, it makes my heart happy to watch this. ❤❤❤❤
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.

SMART Cheeto, helping new mom Mello. Sharing mommyhood to give each other much needed breaks. Too precious.
lol Cheeto like "bish, I'm trying to babysit! What are YOU doing?"
Cheeto understood how hard and exhausting labor is and gave Mellow the day to recoup. That’s very sweet and intuitive. Mellow understood and gave her a break once she got some rest. Aweeeee
This is what feral outside cats due. It’s so cool they take care of each others kittens. & the other mother would take a break eat, play & bathroom, then relieve the mother sitting for her, so she could go do what she wants or needs & so on.
I would not have believed they would do this as feral cats…it was amazing.
People REALLY underestimate cats' intelligence. Even many researchers and animal caretaking workers, tbh.
*do
She was trying to be the best sister ever, that's too sweet.
Cheeto was like i know what im doing girl!! This was a pre pregnancy agreement!!😂😂😂
How precious. Giving mommy a break. Then she would take hers. How wonderful.
She knew that the other mom needed a break and now they teaming up together to raise the kittens. It is so amazing and heartwarming.
I learned this as a child and I thought it was so cool that they helped each other like that.
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
Cat village! Awwww❤

Aww, so sweet she knew being a single mom ain’t no joke.🥺🥺
Plus it’s what females do when they live in their colonies, a cat colony can have 50+ members coexisting; any of the mamas will watch another’s babies.
Sometimes if there aren’t enough mama cats yet, the boys will take care of the kittens, for the mother and it’s usually the one with the best bond with the mama; they have to be from the same colony for this to work, without stressing the mama out.
(Cows will ponder off their children with one cow, usually a cow that doesn’t have its own baby; it ends up being the 1 year old or one that hasn’t had a baby yet that gets the baby sitting job.
Wolves will ponder off their new pups, with their older female children, if they don’t want to deal with their youngest offsprings.)

She was offering respite to the mother cat who just gave birth, knowing a moment alone, getting some water and using the litter box is what she needed! ❤ animals are such beautiful. Blessings.
This is so sweet. They’re sharing infant duties to give the other one rest. She always licks Mellow to prove friendship.👍
It's touching that even animals can tell when a mommy is stressed and needs a break! Am I the only one that cried watching this video? 😢😢😢
No I cried also cause animals are more compassionate then most humans and it’s sad that most people don’t appreciate animals ❤

Even animals seem to have a better humanity than some humans. She was helping this new mother get her strength back. My heart😢
Well they know their roles women fight against nature and the result is disaster
She said if you watch mine, I'll watch yours🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 she was just setting up the kitten sitting system 😂
I rescued a female stray kitten one day that was lost in the woods. After a few years I rescued another stray kitten that had one blind eye. My female cat nursed him, protected him from other stray cats and even taught him how to hunt in my garden (like climbing and all sorts of tricks) it was so precious to watch. They are both adults now but she still cleans him and cares for him like he’s her baby. Animals are so sweet.
This is adorable. I love how assertive Cheeto was about co parenting those babies.
Awwww she was like “you are going to take a break and I am going to care for your babies!!!!!!”. It is so beautiful. I’ve watched this like 30 times 😂❤
She was serious about snagging all the vanilla looking babies and placing them next to all her cheeto looking babies.
I LOVE THIS STORY!! We underestimate the intelligence of animals, because they don't speak our language. This is a prefect example that they're a lot smarter and caring, then so many think! Beautiful ❤
@No6o9y-mom We underestimate their fierce hearts, also. Cats love like no other animal I've met.
I LOVE THIS STORY TOO❤😹 Im so grateful they shared this sweet story, filmed it and let it play out even though not fully understanding at first💯❤
Yesss!! I say that all the time! We think anything that doesn’t communicate the way we do is inferior, sad.
@@ColleenLytle-sq8tx agree!!
And as with this example, we’ve learned many skills and values from other animals. We could learn so much more if we’d just remember that we are still animals, too. ❤

they're over here like "I know the pain, I'll help take care of your kids while you get some well deserved rest"
