    Our 2 year old VOKRA foster cat Hildy and her 2 week old kittens have finally settled down in their new nursing box location and are all doing fine. They were rescued a week or so ago from an underground parking lot in an enclosed bike storage area.

    Hilde thought that an open box is not safe enough to leave her kittens, so she moved them to a more enclosed, defendable spot. Maybe it was also a Feng Shui thing.

    Very typical of a protective mother cat. There’s something about the situation that we humans are not seeing.

    • @mjchenevertful
      @mjchenevertful 5 лет назад +30

      @funzjag I totally agree!! I cannot stand it when Fosters disturb sleeping kittens to accomplish their tasks. I see this all the time on RUclips and it drives me crazy!! Would you wake a sleeping baby? The answer is NO. Mom knows what is best for her and her kittens.

    • @funzjag
      @funzjag 5 лет назад +16

      mjchenevertful I’m such a cat slave that I feel bad waking adult cat that’s sleeping! I can’t get too angry, after all these kind folks are giving this cat family a better chance at a good life. It did make me very uncomfortable, seeing a human second guessing a cat mom and moving her children. 🙀

    • @sarareina84
      @sarareina84 5 лет назад +38

      But sometimes humans know when a location will lead to problems, such kittens escaping into an un-kittenproofed room...

    • @gwendelk
      @gwendelk 5 лет назад +36

      sarareina84 Exactly. The mamas know when something feels safe according to what they know (e.g. covered so predators can’t see or reach them), but they don’t know the possible dangers of human dwellings and objects - this is how kittens born outside end up stuck in pipes and behind walls or investing something they shouldn’t. The mamas of all species have instincts but that doesn’t make them all-seeing or all-knowing.

    • @funzjag
      @funzjag 5 лет назад +3

      sarareina84 I understand that, but they are better equipped than most other species. They have been with us for thousands of years. They’re also the only ones that decided to go come along. We humans think that they were self domesticated. Cats probably are of the mind that we are the domesticated species. If all humans disappeared tomorrow our feline friends would survive. If all cats disappeared tomorrow we might not survive. The rat , mouse, and rabbit populations would explode and decimate our crops and grain supplies. I do know what you’re saying though, we tend to have a lot of “stuff “ , some of it might not be safe for cat babies. On a side note, I have a little female tabby that figured out how to jump up and turn the light switch on and off as she sees fit. She started doing this when she was 8 months old! Not bad for a cat that was born to a feral mom underneath some porch steps!

  • @dottiemathews6853
    @dottiemathews6853 5 лет назад +1

    mama knows best lol!cats like a cave like enclosure to feel safe and secure. especially when it's a mama cat and her babies. she is very protective of her babies and she wants very little human contact from the outside. but she knows she may have to give in and once she knows her caregiver will not harm her or her babies she will come around and learn to trust and be comfortable with the handler allowing him to help take care of her babies. a lot of patience and care on both parts.

  • @MrLohatoolvebyte
    @MrLohatoolvebyte 5 лет назад +121

    It seems that Hildi has a natural urge to be in a cave or den. The blanket over the top of the box made me get it. Brilliance Dr. N.! You show the signs of becoming a cat whisperer. Thank you for sharing your frustrations and precious moments.

  • @185Diannah
    @185Diannah 5 лет назад +1

    My Tara had 7 kittens and they were located in a box in my closet. She showed me her birthing nest one day earlier before she gave birth. She chose this spot because it was hidden, not in the open area, very dark and high up which looked more like a cave. The hanging clothes served as a hidden canopy to sealed in her body heat over the box. I removed my clothes from the box and fixed it up for her with some old sheets and a old shirt of mines with my scent. She was very happy and I was very proud of her to allow me to be part of the process.

    When I was a kid our cat had a litter of kittens. My dad wanted those kittens to stay in a box in our basement but mama cat didn't like that. Everytime my dad brought the kittens downstairs, she would bring them right back up into a closet upstairs. Dad tried putting up a gate on the stairs, but she jumped over it with the kittens in her mouth. We gave up eventually, we weren't going to win that one, mama cat was absolutely determined where she wanted her kittens to be.

    @SandraNelson063 5 лет назад +21

    Hildie has her own plans for the kittens' safety. That open box has the kittens exposed to any passing predator. She knows that the kittens have to be moved to covered shelter, to protect them from harm and the weather.
    I know that Hildie is probably the LEAST feral mama you've ever had, but she thinks like a wild thing. Good for her.

  • @blueraspberry4482

    She is not crazy or a troublemaker. She is a wonderful mother concerned about providing her family with protection and comfort. We humans are the ones who don't understand.
