Cat Holds On To Her Favorite Kitten For Her Dear Life As The Vet Gets Ready To Examine Them

If you have siblings, this one goes out to you. Healthy sibling rivalry and jealousy are normal, especially if the siblings are of similar age. But no matter what, we think that kids should never feel as if they're competing for their parents' love. And it's the same with our pets. Speaking of which, let us paint a picture for you.

A mommy cat and her kittens walk into the vet clinic for an examination. As the vet tries to separate the mom from the babies, they appeared to have stumbled upon a classic case of secure attachment. The mom refused to let go of her babies, she was holding on to them for her dear life. Some commentators noticed she held one kitten tighter than the others. This sparked a bit of drama and childhood trauma in the comment section. Under one of the comments, the OP wrote that when she was found in a box in a park somewhere, she was holding the same kitten. Thankfully, they're safe now.

If we had one wish on this earth it would be to take away the fear and suffering of all the pets that weren't lucky enough to be born in a loving forever home. This momma cat has gone through some trauma with her babies, so it's understandable why she's so protective. We're so glad that they were saved.

Sometimes parents have different bonds with each of their children. Many factors can contribute to this, both depending on the parent, the child, and the environment that they grew up in.
We guess our second wish would be for all children to feel loved, special, and happy. Wow, guys. What an emotional rollercoaster.
