This Ferret Determined To Show A Human Her Babies Is The Most Adorable Thing You’ll See Today

I think her mothering instinct is so strong that she wants him in there too. She wants everything she cares about in one place.

I think she just wanted a babysitter :)

My cat gave birth for the first time in a box under a table in the dining room. She had 4 kittens. That night we were having dinner and she brought the kittens out, one by one, and put them in a line in front of us where we could see them. She then looked up at us with such an expression of pride, as if to say "look what I've done!"

Too cute! I wonder if one of the little stinkers needed help?

Some animal mothers do like showing off their babies and even know that you want to see them. At my grandparents house, there used to be a large woodpile and a stray mother cat had her kittens under it. I always petted and fed the kitty and she was very affectionate. Once the babies were old enough, I often tried to get them to come out from under the woodpile so I could pet them but they always retreated under the woodpile when I got close. One day they did that and I stood there trying to coax the kittens out and the mother cat stuck her head into the hole under the woodpile, made a soft, drawn-out MRRRRRREEEEOWWWW sound, pulled her head back out and the next thing I know, the kittens flooded out the hole and I was able to pick one up and pet it. It didn't even try to bite me. I'm certain that mama cat called her kittens out because she knew I wanted to pet them.
