Being a mom is a hard job not just for humans. In fact, some cats are completely unprepared for the realities of parenthood. They're not prepared for what kind of effort it will take from them. Momma cats need to show their kittens how to drink water. Momma cats need to explain to their babies how to use litter boxes. Momma cats need to do everything for their babies until they're finally old enough to go and try to take over the world on their own two paws.
But still, even the strongest and fiercest momma cats need a break sometimes. It's a good thing that we, cat owners, have been so good to them. Because now, these momma cats trust their humans with their babies and are able to actually take a break when they need it. And oh, they desperately need it. This kitty included. In fact, this cat mom is so tired, she barely manages to drag her kitten into the room. Help her, please.
