Many people like to have cats and think that cats are cute, spiritual, and personal. However, if you have a female cat, you may have the problem that the female cat will "give you" her baby for you to help take care of.
You may think that this is the female cat's trust in you, an expression of feelings, but in fact, there are 5 reasons behind the female cat's "gift" to you, and I will tell you about it today.
Protect your child
The first reason for a female cat is to protect her young. Cats are very sensitive animals, and they are aware of dangers around them, such as other animals or human threats. In order for the child to grow up safely, the mother cat will put the child in a relatively safe place, and you, as her owner, she thinks that you can be trusted, so she will "give the child" to you and let you help watch it.
Distraction
The second reason for female cats is to distract you. You might find it a little strange that a female cat would distract youActually, this is a self-protective instinct of the mother cat, because she knows that if you keep an eye on her child, you may have some bad thoughts about her child, such as sending her child away, or doing something bad to her child. To avoid these, the mother cat will "give it to you" and keep you busy taking care of the child and not thinking about anything else.
Lighten the load
The third reason for a female cat is to lighten her load. You may not know that female cats consume a lot of physical strength and nutrients in the process of giving birth and breastfeeding, and they also have to cope with the various needs of their children, which is very tiring for female cats. In order to allow herself to have more time and energy to recover her strength, the mother cat will "give the child" to you and let you help share some of the child's care work, such as feeding the child, cleaning the child, playing with the child, etc.
Nurture your child
The fourth reason for a female cat is to raise her children. You may think this is a bit incredible, how can a female cat "give it to you" just to nurture the child?In fact, this is a way for the mother cat to educate, because she knows that her child will face a complex world in the future, not a single environment. In order to allow the child to adapt to different situations, the female cat will "give the child" to you and ask you to help teach the child, such as letting the child learn Xi human language, letting the child understand human Xi, exposing the child to different objects and animals, etc.
Express feelings
The fifth and final reason for a female cat is to express her affection for you. You may think that this is the real reason why the mother cat "gave you" the baby, but it is not, it is just an additional reason for the mother cat, and it is also the least important reason. Although the female cat has some affection for you, she sees you more as a partner than a close friend. The mother cat "gives it to you" just to let you know that she has some trust and gratitude for you, but not a deep love.
You should not think that the mother cat "gives you" the child as her family, but understand that the relationship between you and the mother cat is only a mutually beneficial relationship, not an intimate one. You must respect the choice of the mother cat, but also respect the child of the mother cat, do not forcibly interfere with the education of the mother cat, and do not forcibly change the Xi of the mother cat, so that you can live in harmony with the mother cat and let the mother cat's child grow up healthily.
