Heartwarming Viral Thread About A Cat Dad Stepping Up And Taking Care Of His Kittens After The Mom Tragically Passes

Every once in a while, we come across a story about cats being so friendly and so loving that we are truly baffled by some people thinking that they're aloof an unfeeling. Cats are so sweet and so protective of cubs and kittens that, sometimes, they will even adopt and take care of another animal's babies. The most common version of that, of course, is stray cats adopting kittens that are not their own and raising them as if they are. Then, there are the rarer stories like the one about the momma cat who adopted a puppy into her litter or the iconic story about the cat who adopted a lynx cub and raised it alongside her own kitten. 

But it's always mom cats doing it. Mom cats with their motherly instincts. It's much, much rarer to see a father cat take over - probably because the moms are always around. Here, in today's story, unfortunately, the mother is not in the picture anymore, but the dad - wow - the dad stepped up to the plate and is the best cat dad in the world.
