Calico Kitten Won’t Give Mom a Minute’s Peace and Parents Everywhere Get It

Calico Kitten Won’t Give Mom a Minute’s Peace and Parents Everywhere Get It originally appeared on Parade Pets.

Being a parent is nonstop. Especially if you have a little one, you can count on fielding demands nearly 24/7.

In a hilarious video that pretty much sums up the early days of parenting, a Calico kitten won’t let her mama rest for a single second. From wanting to nurse continuously to trying to sit on her head, this kitten is wearing out her poor mom, and that gal’s face says it all.

“Look who’s nursing as usual,” the kitten’s human mom said. “Hi, little Potato. Going back for more.”

Viewers are loving watching these two and think that kitty is aiming to grow up fast.

“Mom, Mom, Mom, look at me, Mom, Mom. She’s gotta get as chonky as possible,” one viewer wrote.

“Mama just cannot get a break from you, can she?” We hear the clip’s narrator say.

Parents can relate.

“I have a Velcro baby like that, too! We get no peace 😂😂😂😂.”

How about that mama’s expression? For those who’ve been watching this little cat family, they recognize that look.

“Mama’s had a hundred-yard stare in every video,” one wrote.

“She’s a good mama to these beautiful babies,” another said.

She really is! Look at the love and affection she has for her baby.

So patient and kind. It’s tough to imagine having your baby climbing on your head or nibbling your ears and not losing your cool! But this mama cat doesn’t mind a bit.

Of course, it’s probably animal and maternal instinct that tells this cat mom just how much her baby needs her. Not only do kittens rely on their moms for food, warmth, and protection, but also, their mother is their first teacher. They basically “learn” how to be a cat from watching their mama.

With that in mind, it’s so nice to see mama and baby bonding like this. They’re safe and have the time and space to be together, which will ensure this kitten gets a great start in life.

That said, maybe Potato could let her mom catch a bit of rest — even a cat nap would probably go a long way to restoring her mama’s energy. Then she’ll be ready to play, another important skill kittens need in their lives!
