2 Mama Cats Found Clutched Together with 8 Babies Born Just Days Apart

[Little Tich]

Source: Lovemeow

Two abandoned cat mothers were found in a garage. When they were turned into the shelter in a box, they clutched together with their eight tiny nursing kittens just days apart in age.

"Megan and Moha are inseparable and care for their wee ones interchangeably," Here Kitty Kitty Rescue (Elkhart, Indiana) said.

The torbie mother's name is Megan and the orange mother is Moha.


There are five orange tabbies, two torbies and one buff.


Three slightly bigger kittens are from one litter and the rest are from the other.


They all share their mamas' milk. Moha and Megan feed and care for them interchangeably.


While Megan is on a break, Mama Moha takes all eight tiny hungry babies.


Mama Megan returns and is ready to take her next shift.

1. Oh, how sweet!

Adorable.

[Autumn Colors]

2. I love the next to last pic

I'd change the existing caption to:

While Megan is on a break, Mama Moha takes all eight tiny hungry babies. Feeds seven and uses one as a pillow.

3. Years ago, my cat and roommates cat had kittens a couple days apart.

And yes, the mamas cared for each other's kittens, including cleaning and nursing.

[SammyWinstonJack]

4. Adorable and heart warming.

[oldandhappy]

5. moms are beautiful, kits adorable

Glad they found each other. Thank you to all caring for them.

[Laffy Kat]

6. Are the two torbie kittens from the torbie mom?

And the orange and buff kits from the orange mamma? I'm unable to tell their respective sizes. I also wonder if the kitty daddy was also orange. Guess there's no way to know. Nobody's talkin. So adorable.

7. I asked my wife if she thought that cats and kittens evolved to make to make them so

unbelievably cute that we would feed them. I wasn't serious of course, but the pictures here are amazingly cute, and my desire to protect them is stronger.

We have three cats, and our ritual is, when we buy pet supplies, is to go to the rescue kitten room, and argue over should we get this one...will it upset the balance we have now.

Those kittens are killers in cuteness with two great moms.

[AlbertCat]

9. All baby mammals are cute....

..... even the ugly ones. (to us)

[rusty quoin]

11. Nothing compares to a kitten. Ask girls who grew up like my wife.

I use to be a dog person, but now I agree with her.

[thesquanderer]

20. My two best pets...

were a maine coon and a shih tzu. So I have no horse in this race, just a cat and a dog.

[Arugula Latte]

30. I agree. Kittens are the cutest things on the planet. Period.

[3catwoman3]

45. They most certainly are.

I could watch kittens all day long.

[Arugula Latte]

32. What I think is interesting is that a lot of us homo sapiens find

kittens (and other furry babies) much cuter than babies of our own species.

I say this as a person who gave birth to what turned out to be two extremely cute humans.

But, a kitten? Are you kidding me? No competition for cuteness right there.

You'd think a member of one species would find her own species' babies cuter than any other, just from an evolutionary standpoint. But nooooooo. There are a lot of ugly human babies, and I've never seen an ugly kitten.

[Ilsa]

40. Yeah, it's hard to be honest about someone's

butt-ugly babies. Of course they are sweet and precious, but not all human babies are created equal in the adorable dept.

A southern baptist minister I knew (and he was one of the really nice/good ones) said each time his wife gave birth, he had to pray that God would overwhelm him with adoration for his own offspring. And honestly, his kids were really cute. He just couldn't feel the love until he got to know them.

[3catwoman3]

47. I am coming up on the 40 year mark...

...as a pediatric nurse practitioner. There are most definitely human babies who would not win cuteness contests.

[csziggy]

39. My husband swears the mothers give the kittens cute lessons

So they would be appealing for adoption!

[truebluegreen]

8. what's a torbie? nt

[AlbertCat]

10. what's a torbie?

a typo of tabby?


But here's some nomenclature:

"A group of cats is referred to as a "clowder" or a "glaring",[40] a male cat is called a "tom" or "tomcat"[41] (or a "gib",[42] if neutered), an unaltered female is called a "queen",[43] and a juvenile cat is referred to as a "kitten". The male progenitor of a cat, especially a pedigreed cat, is its "sire",[44] and its female progenitor is its "dam".[45] In Early Modern English, the word 'kitten' was interchangeable with the now-obsolete word 'catling'.[46]" (from Wiki)

[Hissyspit]

13. Tabby / Tortoise Shell mix

[3catwoman3]

41. "Catling" is deserving of...

...rejuvenation. Cool word.

[AlbertCat]

42. Agreed

[Hissyspit]

12. Tabby / Tortoise Shell mix

[ginnyinWI]

38. if you see a tabby with

splotches of orange mixed into its stripes, its a Torbie. Tortoishell+ Tabby + Torbie.

[shenmue]

14. Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Duckfan]

15. Beautiful. But what a handful

[Else You Are Mad]

21. This gif made my day!!!

Thank you!

[Maynar]

53. Hilarious!

+1

[Flaxbee]

16. GIMME!! gimmegimmegimmegimme kittens

Oh my goodness. I'm overwhelmed. And those two precious mommas, looking out for one another. "hey Moha, if I can't take a 10 minute nap I'm gonna snap." "No problem, Megan. Leave the little buggers to me". Lol. Love it.

[Liberal_in_LA]

17. k&r

[IcyPeas]

18. OMG. Why are kittens?

Why are kittens?

that's all.

[mnhtnbb]

19. Our Mouse and Simba were "brothers" from two litters born 4 days apart

in a house full of cats.

I answered an ad in the paper in Lincoln, NE in 1995 for free kitties. I went to this house--a little old lady answered the door--
and there were cats everywhere! The biggest cat I'd ever seen was sleeping in a chair--took up the entire seat of the chair--
and I suspect that was Mouse's father. Both Mouse and Simba grew to be 22 lb cats as adults. They were inseparable
best buddies their entire lives.

This is one of my few photos of them that survived our house fire in 2007. They were 12 years old at the time. Mouse
lived to be 14 and Simba 17.

51. awwz. sweet big boys..

[KamaAina]

22. Meow!

[narnian60]

23. Oh, my.

May they all find the perfect homes.

[Rebkeh]

24. Aww. Adorable nt

[polly7]

25. Aww ...... sweet, beautiful kitties. nt.

[3catwoman3]

26. If my husband weren't around to keep things in check, I could...

...easily end up as a crazy cat lady. It takes me about 30 seconds to fall in love with a kitten. I've said that here somewhere before, and a fellow cat lover responded, "Why so long?"

That is a big bunch of cuties.

[Duval]

28. Same here,3catwoman3. eom

[Arugula Latte]

33. Me too. I even look at a picture of a kitten or a grown kitty online and --

*instant stab in the heart* -- I'm in love.

[Duval]

27. Awww. Loved this. nt

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

29. NOOOOO!!! STOOOP!!!!

Adorableness overload!!!!!!

[joeybee12]

31. Adorbale...females caring for other litters is actually pretty common

That way one is always with them when the other goes looking for food...more protection...they found this by studying cats that live on farms.

KNR

[Arugula Latte]

34. And lionesses do this too, I believe.

[joeybee12]

35. Yup...the females in the pride all do that

Largely because the males might harm the little ones.

[Luminous Animal]

36. My two younger guys come from a shared litter. The SPCA folks were unsure if they were

biologically related but they love each other. Three years later, they still cuddle.

[saturnsring]

48. birdie sanders -- omg lol

[Moostache]

37. Last year we rescued an abandoned partial Maine Coon kitten from the wild...

Sadly, we lost him to a digestive system disorder and urinary blockages that we believe were related to the harsh conditions he faced as an abandoned kitten. He looked a lot like some of the kitten pictures and he was such a playful and happy kitten...he just never seemed destined to have a long adult life from the very start.

We miss him terribly since he died in February; and even the addition of a new kitten in March has not helped us forget poor "Mew" (which was all he did for weeks after we brought him...walk around and mew at everything!)...

I loathe humans that discard animals like trash, and I am always happy to see stories of animals caring for themselves or caring humans lending a hand when they find abandoned litters or even just abandoned pets.

[montana_hazeleyes]

55. Thanks to you, Mew got to know good care in his short life.

And most important he got to know the feeling of being loved.

[Jackilope]

43. Love! <3 n/t

[GreenPartyVoter]

44. We had a mother daughter semi-feral pair who did that too. :)

[Dont call me Shirley]

46. Mew! Mew! Mew! Mew! Mew! Mew! Mew! Mew!

Kittehs!

[Baobab]

49. Husky-type puppies are even more adorable than kittens

Unbearably cute. Very playful, so playful that you basically cannot ever tire them out. They will tire you out, though. When they are at that age you really have to spend a lot of time with them so that they will socialize to people.

[mythology]

57. We didn't get our husky until he was about a year old and he didn't run out of energy

until he was well into middle age and even then it was mostly due to his second torn acl that he stopped digging out.

He held onto the really cute thing though making it hard to get mad at him even when he would look at us and disobey.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

50. It's good to be around

folks who love and care for any abandoned creatures. Thanks, Tich, you always post such winners. Extra ear scratches for my 2 orange male tabbies tonite in appreciation for their company.

[hopemountain]

52. is there such a thing as

too much cuteness? naaahh!

[Rhiannon12866]

54. OMG! They are so cute I can barely stand it!

Such a touching story, thank you for sharing! I hope they all find wonderful homes - and that Megan and Moha are able to stay together...

[stage left]

56. Dying here

From an overdose of adorableness.
