'He adopted the kittens as his own': Male Cat Protects 2 Tiny Kittens From 5 Aggressive Cats, Stepping up as the Best Step-Dad and Adopting the Itty Bitty Kitties Into His Family

One thing that we know for a fact is that independent as they are, when it comes to their babies, cats do not mess around. Cats will go out of their way to protect their babies and make sure that they are happy and healthy and safe. We have seen it time and time again. Cats stepping up when they are needed. We have seen cats protect their kittens from dogs, not letting the dogs anywhere near them. We have seen cats hold onto their kittens for dear life as vets get ready to examine them. We have even read about cats running into burning barns to save their kittens, at risk of their own safety. 

But it seems that it's not just their biological babies that cats are willing to risk anything to save. It may be kittens as a whole. Because although this male cat is neutered and doesn't have babies of his own, he was willing to risk it all to protect two itty bitty kitties.
