When you think of a cat family, usually the father isn't present. It's known that cats have a different relationship with each other than humans do with their partners, and usually, it's a single mom raising her little kittens alone. But this cat daddy stayed around. He stayed by the pregnant momma and supported her while she gave birth and even helps take care of the kids after. Gentlemen, take note!

We love seeing animal couples in healthy, happy relationships. It makes us connect with them a bit more because it humanizes them and makes us feel like we're more similar than we think, despite being completely different species. In the end, we all just want to be happy, and that's easier to do with someone by your side, who loves you and supports you, even if it's with a paw, instead of a hand.

This is the father, waiting patiently for the mother to finish feeding and jump in to take care of the kittens when she needs a break. He looks sleepy (like all parents of newborns), but determined. What a good dad!

Right after the birth, the father cat goes to nurse the momma. He's cleaning her and making her feel safe after such a crazy experience. Sometimes all you need in life is a little support, and this cat daddy is doing just that!
