Baby Bobcat Episode 3

Baby Bobcat Week 2. When we left off last time, the mother cat was not allowing the baby bobcat to nurse, so we checked with Jack Talman, St Francis and Cat Call to see if her last two kittens were still awaiting homes. See what happens next at Big Cat Rescue.

Why do kittens knead the mom's belly when they eat?

[BigCatRescue]

@MissDeweylover That's a good question and to be honest I have no idea! :) I'll google it!

I was just about crying when I seen the mommy kitty let the lil baby nurse. It was so cute watching the lil paws. This lil bob cat has all my best wishes for its future in the wild.

@MissDeweylover I think they try to push the milk out.

@MissDeweylover --

to stimulate milk production.

[joannuhhhh]

@MissDeweylover most likely because it's easier to get the milk out that way. they make sure they get a could portion of the milk by kneading it...that's what it looks like to me

@Poika99 Momma kitties have a little kitty language they talk to their kittens with. Body language is part of it.  I was noticing this with a feral momcat when she was caring for her litter of kittens, which I socialized so they could be adopted. Much of the chirps moans, and modified meows are very quiet, many times I could see her talking to her kids but couldn't hear her. They have ears that pick up sound for miles, so there's no surprise that they are quiet when the communicate.

My neighbors once found some stray kittens and got their dog to breast feed them.
