Many of these young felines arrive without their mothers. Rigby instinctively assumes the role of parent and begins to comfort them. ” When babies don’t have a mom, he stays still while I lay bottles on his body and feed the orphans. They seem to suckle.

Surrogate father and playmate
With those who are lucky enough to be accompanied by their parent, the cat prefers to stay at a safe distance at the start and leave all the space necessary for their mother. Then, when they reach the age of about 5 weeks and start to explore and play, he is at their disposal and takes part in their games. He also takes the opportunity to “taste” their food and satisfy his gluttony.
