The cat was an experienced mother who had raised kittens before and she took good care of her babies. She devotedly nurtured them, making sure they were well fed, kept warm and groomed. For her, motherhood came naturally and easily. The dog, on the other hand, faced a different situation. This was her first experience with motherhood and she seemed unsure about how to care for her puppies.
Sometimes she left them at home unattended, not knowing that they needed the warmth, food and affection of a mother. The puppies would whine and cry, calling for their mother, but she seemed confused and didn’t know how to react. Their cries echoed throughout the neighborhood, catching the cat’s attention. Hearing the distressed sounds of the puppies, the cat's maternal instincts kicked in.
Finally, she made a surprising choice. She sneaked into her neighbor's yard and began transporting the puppies to her home, carrying them one by one. After gathering all the puppies, she placed them next to her own kittens, nurturing them by feeding and grooming them, treating each one as if they were her own. Meanwhile, the dog's owner noticed that her puppies were missing and began searching.
They searched every corner of the yard but found nothing. Finally, they consulted a third neighbor, who reported that she had seen the cat walking away with the puppies. Shocked, they went to visit the cat's owner, where they found all the puppies sleeping peacefully next to the kittens. The cat took on the responsibility of caring for both the puppies and the kittens, showering them with love and attention in equal measure.
The dog's owner was moved by the cat's unexpected display of maternal affection and chose not to separate the puppies from their newfound mother. In the end, the cat proved to be a more attentive caregiver than the dog, and so the puppies remained with her, receiving the love and attention they had been lacking.
