Hello everyone! My name is Frances and I have many cats but one unusual male cat. He was born last year so he is soon to start mating (I think). My curiousity is his behavior with his mother's latest litter. At first he acted jealous but now he is her built-in babysitter.
At first my husband and I were astounded b/c we had never seen a male cat stay at home and take care of his mother's litter. Now, we have accepted that Tigger is just a loving cat and enjoys the tiny brothers he has adopted. We can find him at night all curled up with the last 3 of them. He even grooms them like his mother does. At night, mom is gone doing her thing. Sometimes she leaves during the day and Tigger is again babysitting.
My question is....is this normal for a 1 year old male cat?
