Stray Cat Introduces Her Kittens To The Woman That's Been Feeding Her
A stray cat with a secret can turn an ordinary backyard into a full-on rescue mission. That is exactly what happened to Shea Prior, who started out by simply feeding a hungry kitty that wandered onto her property.
As the visits continued, Shea realized the cat was lactating, which meant kittens were likely hidden somewhere nearby. She searched for them, worried about where they might be, and even asked the cat where the babies were, because sometimes that is all you can do.
The answer came the next morning, and it was better than she expected.
"I started telling her to show me her babies, and I bet her babies were so pretty," Prior wrote.
The morning after, Prior went to her lawn to water the flowers and saw the mama cat rushing to her, and she was not alone.
"She came running up to me and rubbed against my leg while making her little croaking noise," Prior said. "She led me over to my shed, and when I looked inside, I saw a couple of little fluffballs staring back at me. She flopped over on her side and started calling them to come out and see me."
The woman managed to establish a trusting relationship with the mama cat, who, as a sign of respect and love, wanted to show off her five small babies to her.
The kittens were scared at first until their mom showed them that it was all right and safe. When they got the OK, they happily rushed to meet the nice lady.
This is like the mother cat that wouldn’t eat unless she was put in a bag, for her caretaker.
"One of the little gray ones was super brave and came up to me with his little pointy tail held high in the air and let me pet him immediately," Prior said. "Eventually, after about 10 to 15 minutes, they all came up to me and let me hold and pet them."
When she met the whole family, the woman knew she had to help them. She managed to find loving homes for all five kittens and adopted the mom herself.
Shea is so thankful that the mama cat was smart enough to bring her babies to her, and now they’ll all have wonderful forever homes.
