My cat stays in the house, so we take her outside for bits at a time.
She spent most of the day outside Sunday, and I know she loved it.
I took her out yesterday, and I walked back inside to do something, and when I came out, she ran to me and there was a squirrel throwing a fit in the tree.
It was so angry, it cussing us out 8,u
I asked her what she did to piss the squirrel off xD
I think she ran up the tree like she does sometimes and the squirrel thought she was trying to get to the baby squirrels.
My sister asked me how I knew it was a female, and I just did.
I think female animals can be scary when it comes to keeping their babies safe.
I remember seeing a large mama bear charging at a man and his dog because they were too close to her cubs.
And the thing is, she WAS giving them a warning.
She didn't just jump them and maul them.
She gave them plenty of warning and they left.
I've had many dogs and cats give birth.
I've had people tell me that the mamas will bite and growl at people who try to touch the babies, but mine never did.
They'd let us check on them and pet them a little.
I understand why they would be a bit aggressive, but none of my animals ever were.
My Saya had puppies and she didn't mind that I groomed them.
She even started mimicking me.
My one cat kept hiding her kittens when we'd check on them >>
She was a meanass, but she didn't act aggressively xD
We checked them because it was her first litter.
We weren't trying to take them 8,u
Female animals seem to get the short end of the stick sometimes, but like humans - mamas can be very interesting and amazing.
And very dangerous xD
Has anyone dealt with or seen mama animals protecting their young?
