Being a parent is synonymous with providing unwavering comfort to one’s children—it’s an innate instinct, an undeniable connection coursing through the veins.
The lengths one would go for their offspring, from ensuring protection to meeting basic needs like sustenance and shelter, underscore the profound nature of this familial bond.
Remarkably, this instinct is not exclusive to humans; animals, despite lacking the intellectual prowess of their human counterparts, possess an innate understanding of the significance of protecting their offspring.
A caring mother cat
This universal truth is beautifully exemplified in a TikTok video posted by the user @vghj._, amassing over 34,000 likes and resonating with viewers across the platform.
The 41-second clip captures a heartwarming scene at Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) hostel, where a mother cat ascends a staircase carrying a green plastic bag filled with food for her kitten.
The anticipation among a few kittens, eagerly awaiting their mother’s arrival, is palpable as she approaches, laden with the promise of nourishment.
Uncertain fate of the kittens
In an exclusive interview with WeirdKaya, the TikTok user disclosed that the incident unfolded at Hostel Kolej Ungku Omar.
The mother cat consistently brings back food for her kittens, ranging from fried chicken bones to any edible item she can find. While she initially had five kittens, she now has only one, and the fate of the others remains uncertain.
The green plastic bag, containing food sourced from a student’s storage and retrieved from the hostel bin, serves as a poignant symbol of the mother cat’s relentless quest to provide for her young.
The TikTok user expressed concern over the well-being of the remaining kitten, stating that the mother cat always seeks more food, perhaps believing her offspring haven’t eaten yet.
Any help will do
Moved by compassion, the TikTok user extended an invitation for assistance, urging those willing to help provide the cat with basic necessities to reach out for donations.
Emphasising transparency, she assured potential contributors that all funds would be dedicated to the cat’s needs, including veterinary care.
Like people, this furry mom cares for her kittens daily. The green bag she carries symbolizes her love, reminding us that parental instincts are universal.
