I knew mom wasn't worried because she and the dad cat had a close bond, this usually happens when the mom and dad cat are living together in a house together and are bonded close when the mom cat has babies in which the dad cat is the one who made the mom cat pregnant with the kittens, it is often reported in the news regarding pets that the father and mother co-parent so when the mother needs to eat or something the dad cat usually watches the kittens and keeps them warm, it's honestly really adorable how a bond can change how cats actually parent
Just a quick word: When a bigger cat cleans a smaller kitty, it's not a true sign of affection. It's a sign that the bigger cat has accepted the little one, but is in fact asserting dominance. Obviously, it's more nuanced when a mother cat is cleaning her babies. That said, your pets all seem to be content and very comfortable with the other animals. That on its own shows that the pups and the kitties are well-loved, well-fed and well-socialised. You've clearly done a great job. 😻❣
I had an older cat and a young kitten a few years back and my older cat never really like the kitten but one day I when outside and saw my older cat cleaning the kitten I thought it was so cute but he never did anything like that again
@@kawaibakaneko I guess you could say that, for cats, hierarchy comes with responsibility. The higher you are in the hierarchy, the more it is your responsibility to protect, guide, and care for those below you.
@@kawaibakaneko Yes, that's normal behaviour. The kittens accepted that the older cat was dominant and then they bonded with each other. In the animal world, "dominant" does not mean "bully". It is completely normal and contributes significantly to peace and contentment in the group.
For those who say cats or any other animals for that matter can't recognise their young - numerous journal articles have established that male animals recognise their young by smell. And though studies seem to suggest that animals lack abstract thought, they are highly emotional, and once introduced to their young as if it is "significant", eg the human showing dad cat his "kittens", he will internalise that and create an emotional bond. The same bond that is demonstrated when a cat misses its human when it goes out of town - yes your neighbour has been feeding and cuddling them when you were gone - but they formed an emotional connection with their primary care giver, and therfore are excited to see them come back based on feelings. It strikes me as odd that people can attach so much emotional feeling animal to human, but when it comes to animal lives all of a sudden its just instinct and natural selection with no nuance.
Humans have no way of knowing that animals “lack abstract thought”, and it’s non of human’s business. If those scientists owned a cat, as a pet, not as a test subject, they would see that animals DO THINK, and understand when they’re being talked to
That's because humans are the only animal that can assign arbitrary "subjective values" on various activities, from life sustaining activities to leisurely activities. For example, animals don't pick food based on their preferred taste. They merely prioritize foods with higher nutrient content. But since humans live in abundance, they can give cats a selection of foods with identical nutrient contents but differing tastes. After that, it was only a matter of time before they develop another metric to value food besides their nutritional values, which is so to say, their taste.
@@straypaper No, animals absolutely decide what to eat by taste and scent. They don't understand concepts like "nutrient content", they just know "this food smells good and makes my mouth water, I need to devour it." Which is the same measure that humans use for deciding what food they'll eat. Animals also can't smell genetics, they just smell scents. And while there are definitely genetic factors that make certain scents more favorable than others, that is also true for humans, and scent memory is insanely strong for us. Even our own ability to empathize with creatures outside of our own species isn't entirely unique to us. And for us, that developed from a survival instinct. The packbond instinct, to be specific. The ancestor of the wolves had this same instinct, or we never would've been able to tame and then domesticate them. The ancestors of the cats had this instinct, too, and hilariously, *they* were the ones that adopted *us*. All of our "subjective values" are simply generations of refined survival instincts that long outlived their original context but still serve to enrich our lives.
@@straypaper We are animals that select food based on nutritional value as well - the savoury taste tells us there's higher calorie intake and the sweet taste signals its easier on digestion, pops a dopamine hit, and expends less energy - thereby favoured. This isn't conscious on humans part, it just sort of happens. Animals do the same, not just domesticated animals - birds favour the taste of carbohydrates in bread despite it being poorly digested, orangutans travel miles to find specific genus of fruits not because of higher nutritional value, but pure taste and enjoyment. There are countless studies of wild animals preferring taste organically without human intervention. Animals are not the dumb pavlovian robots people think they are - they are complex, soulful, thinking creatures with their own autonomy. Not as complex as humans, no, but also not as 1D as people make them.
"You gotta be kidding me." "Hey kid , I'm right here." --Mon 1:44 When he turns his head back to the left. 🤣❤😻😍👍🏼 Everything about this video is adorable.
I shouldn't think that there would be much of a father-kitten bond in any case. Surely, in the cat world, the male's role is simply as sperm donor. There is no reason to think that kittens would treat him as a parent unless he was intimately involved in raising them since birth.
all cats are social animals though. male cats that live around their kittens DO parent them as well. mon here simply wasnt around for the first few weeks after the kittens were born so they didnt recognize him. by the end of the video you can see that mon is now parenting the kittens as well, because in a "colony" like this(yes i know theyre all dogs and cats in a home, but the animals view themselves as a colony) the adults all help raise the young, because both cats and dogs are social pack animals.
@@DanniLivesForever But how would Mon know that these were his offspring? Do cats even have a concept of "I am your father, Luke"? I don't doubt that male cats have a nurturing instinct (it's been shown in mice, for example) but I think it might apply to _all_ male cats equally.
I was thinking that too. I don't think Mon has any understanding that he's their biological father, he would treat any other kittens in the colony the same way. I think this is very sweet too, he's a contented, good natured cat who just sees kittens needing to be cared for and he's happy to help.
@@Quboid I dare say that Mon is very affectionate towards his offspring, but I also don't see him demanding a paternity test. It would be interesting to compare this video with one of him confronting kittens to which he wasn't related.
Your dogs are literally great they're making comfortable every one around him. And no one feel scare and I'm surprised your dogs has made friendship with cats usually dogs attack on cats here situation is different ❤
The part that got was when you said the mom looked happy and then showed a very grumpy looking cat like she was trying to say she doesn't care nor want to be there.
The kittens are adorable. And your cats and dogs are beautiful. Thank you for sharing, because I found this very uplifting for my spirits. And it made me smile. Happy holidays.
The best is the grey kitten who doesn’t give a crap about what’s happening and instead is just sleeping super chill between the golden retriever’s paws. 😂🩷🩷
He wasn’t disappointed that his Kids didn’t reckognized him. Like most animals cats don’t Form strong family bonds. After they impregnated the mother catdads job is done. A mother cat only bonds with their kittens until they’re old enough to reproduce themselves.
In general male domestic cats rarely participate in raising their own kittens. In fact only in special cases do male cats have a continuing relationship with the females they impregnate. We humans may have been changing slowly their previous biological family structure by asking them to live together indoors therefore only allowing them tiny territories. We humans may be the outside force pushing their evolution. Talk about playing god! 🙂
@ I don’t know the entire reason but it’s territorial and the kittens can be seen as a threat. I’m sure the internet could provide you with further information.
@02:17 mins. it´s clear to see , the kitty thinks the Husky is her/his daddy . Daddy cat the real father wasn´t near in the very first days , I belive.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
The kittens are so scared because they don't know what's going on and dad is scared too. Cat dad is scared because you put him in a room with a bunch of cats. Those things are deadly.
it's been my experience, especially out on the farm, that intact toms will kill the males, to eliminate 'competition'. sad, but true. cute kittens, though. hopefully the dogs won't let anything happen to them.
That's the thing tho, indoor housecat and farm/feral cats are quite different. My cat loves all of his babies. He is very involved in caring for the kittens. He will always be beside mama and when she need a break and go outside, he will nest around the kittens. It is also depends on how you introduced the parents and kittens
I am sure the dad rolling all over and rubbing on the dog the kittens know sped up the process of acceptance as he now doesn’t smell like a stranger.
I didn't even think of that, so if he did, he's one smart cookie.🤯
I was thinking the same thing!
They know how to use smells better than we can understand
More like he's rubbing his scent glands on the dog.
Pheromone master 3000🗿
0:33 I love how they’re all sitting there like their really intimidating dad has forced them too, but they’re too scared to say anything or get close
You used there, their and they're all in one sentence, AND CORRECTLY?! how I love seeing such comments!!

Well, you know cats, always wanting to be little bosses!
When the neighbor cat licked my parents two kittens, he accepted them as his own to protect and guide, they became best friends
I had an older cat and a young kitten a few years back and my older cat never really like the kitten but one day I when outside and saw my older cat cleaning the kitten I thought it was so cute but he never did anything like that again

They grew up so much. Smol chubby jellybeans.
Cute little balls of fluff!
Stop fighting, they are clearly small chubby little jellyballs of fluff
@@mahardikasyah-yl5zy oh, I wasn’t fighting. I was adding. :P
Mon is so wholesome! He was rubbing his fur against the dogs because he would smell like them and he would appear more friendly!

How sweet. I’m happy the kittens gravitated towards daddy in the end 😊
Sooooo upset that he sought comfort..... tooooooooooo cute!!!
Of course it's sweet little Mickey that takes the lead, bless his soul.😊❤
Tuxedo kitten inherited dads' ears.
And they all lived happily ever after.
Mon looks like such a happy and proud dad and husband.
4:09 oh my gosh micky demanding more bathing from mon here is soooooo cute ❤❤

I love how those kittens are eager to sit with the randomness of a dog, but the careful movement of another cat freaks them out
I loved that they warmed up to DAD !! 😻✨💫🪽

So cruel of them to let Bobi baby sit the kitchens n locking kittens' biological dad upstairs most of the time. Thank God family bonded in the end
Bless them all
It’s like giving a child the choice between a small toy vs a big toy
In the wild, the kittens would be in danger of being killed by a male cat, father or not.
Why?

There’s a HUGE difference between practically feral farm cats, and domestic cats that are loved and cared for.
Key word "farm". The dynamics here are totally different.

“Well, you’re hanging out with my dad, so you must be okay”
Loved animals but I am more a dog person, but your cats and kittens as well as the dogs have great harmony. Enjoyed watching your channel
Awwwwwww such a beautiful family ❤
wow, they're getting so big.
the big white brown one is the father I belive.
Boy those babies have it made😂❤
Ok but imagine this in a pixie brutus style comic though. Two gay men and a child in a very wholesome comic
you must live in a wonderful environment
They are so cute 🥰🥰🥰
Cute …I want all😊
Daddy cat is beautiful.
That was adorable ❤❤❤
Wow, that's amazing

Why do you keep poking Mon in the eyes with that pink squid thing, see him blinking? Play it in front of his paws.
