Owner Searches For Cat’s Kittens, Finds Them Somewhere No One Expected
In an unexpected turn of events, a TikTok user, Sydbean1, shared a heartwarming and amusing tale about her cat’s secret hideaway for her newborn kittens.
The video, shared on the platform earlier in July, showcases the incredible lengths a mother cat will go to ensure the safety and comfort of her little ones, leading her owner on a surprising quest.
In the clip, the poster’s husband noticed her cat behaving unusually one day, lying by a box full of blankets they had prepared for the kittens, even though none of them were there.
Eager to find out where the little ones were and ensure their well-being, he began observing the cat’s movements more closely, leading him to an unexpected location.
The cat had hidden her kittens in a rather unconventional spot: the washing machine. Nestled amongst the fresh, warm clothes, the kittens lay snug and content, much to the surprise and amusement of their owner. The video captures the moment of discovery, showing the kittens’ tiny faces peeking out from the freshly laundered clothing.
This delightful incident brings to light a common yet intriguing behavior observed in cats. According to an article by the feline resource site Catster, cats have a particular affinity for clean laundry. The warmth, softness, and familiar scents of freshly washed clothes create an irresistible haven for these creatures. For a mother cat, this environment offers the perfect combination of safety and comfort for her vulnerable kittens.
The Catster article states that cats are drawn to the smell of clean laundry, which often carries the scent of their human companions. This scent provides a sense of security and belonging, making laundry a favored resting spot.
Additionally, the warmth from freshly dried clothes mimics the cozy environment that kittens experienced in the womb, further attracting mother cats to choose these spots for their young.
The video quickly went viral on social media, getting viewers from across TikTok. It has so far received over 1.1 million views and 141,200 views on the platform.
One user, Stephanie, commented: “My cat moved her kittens by me. if I move to another spot for more then a few min when brings them to me again I’m the babysitter I guess.”
Christimjacobs said: “If you have cat always, always, did I say ALWAYS keep the lids closed to washer and dryer. i even keep door to laundry room closed!”
Chellepierce88 added: “They’re in time out…my daughters cat would climb on top of the dog box where her kittens couldnt get to her instead of puting them somewhere.”
