Instincts are often stronger than our self-control and guide our behavior. It is difficult even for a person to resist his instincts, what then to say about animals in which they prevail.
I got a cat. When she was two years old, I took her to be spayed. The cat endured the procedure normally, although for several days she succumbed to apathy and spent this time lying under the sofa.
I was calm, knowing that my pet would not bring kittens that I would have to adopt. But the cat had other plans, so from one of her walks she brought a fluffy baby.
I was very surprised by how touching my cat is to take care of someone else’s baby. She treats him like a native, does not let anyone near the kitten, warms and licks him. Against the background of the awakened maternal instinct, the cat even had milk.
My cat was able to outplay me. I did not want to deal with kittens, but she really wanted to become a mother and brought a baby into the house. I’m just worried about a stray cat who went away for a minute, and when she returned, she missed one of her children. I wonder if she is worried or happy that at least one of her babies will turn out as it should?
