Male Cat Who Wanted Nothing To Do With The New Kitten Takes On The Role Of A Nursemaid

We're all familiar with the classic cat dad story. You know, the one where hooman dad claims he's not a cat person, never was, and never will be. But life works in mysterious ways and he still ends up with a cat. At first, he's incredibly hostile. Doesn't like the cat, feels no connection to it, nor desires to form a connection. But after a short few days, he gives in and his world is changed forever. They become inseparable and live happily ever after. Sound familiar? Well, apparently, male cats are the exact same way.

Someone took to Reddit to share a short clip of a male cat taking on the role of a nursemaid to a kitten he was introduced to just a few days back. Like the classic cat dads we mentioned above, this one, too, was hostile at first. But to be quite honest, it's understandable because it's not like the kid was his. The most important thing is that he warmed up to him in no time. We've compiled the best replies; there are some funnies, some stories, and tons of cat talk. Enjoy!

We love seeing male cats and dogs step up to the job when a stepdad is needed. Forget about maternal instincts, this guy right here is clearly meant to be a dad. This kitten better know how lucky he is to have such an amazing stepdad. These two will make a pawesome family.

We wonder if this person has a Polydactyl cat because if yes, this makes things even cuter. We can picture the male cat just holding and nursing the liddo baby. Awh, how absolutely precious. We'll never get tired of repeating this but we really do not deserve cats. Our hearts can't handle this much wholesomeness!
