A heartwarming video of a mother cat showing off her newborn kittens has gone viral on TikTok, capturing the affection animals can share with their humans.
Posted on March 31 by user @tomeaka_123, the short clip shows a mother cat leading her owner to a cozy corner where her day-old kittens are resting. Since its upload, the video has been viewed more than 649,000 times and liked over 115,000 times, charming viewers around the world.
The text over the video reads: “My cat wanting to show me her day-old babies. 80 percent of the day they scream and cry and she is already over it.”
In the clip, the adult cat walks ahead slowly, pausing often to make sure her owner is following. She leads them to a soft barricade made from cushions and clothes, set up to keep the family’s dog out. With ease, she jumps over it and heads to a hidden corner where her tiny kittens are curled up together.
Once there, she gently licks and sniffs her babies before lying down to cuddle them. Viewers were touched by the cat’s clear pride and trust in sharing such a personal moment.
Many users took to the comments to express their emotions.
“She’s just a baby herself,” one viewer wrote. Another joked, “She wasn’t just showing you her babies, I think she wanted a babysitter.”
Other comments included:
- “She’s like, did you visit your grandkids today? Here they are.”
- “So are you the cat-aunt or cat-grandma? Welcome to the family.”
- “You are her colony, her family. She’s expecting you to babysit while she goes ‘hunting.'”
- “She is so proud of the babies, how precious.”
One user summed up the sentiment: “I could die for all the mummy cats that guide their humans to their babies like they’re your grandchildren.”
