Cat Mom Hugs Kitten: Cute/Ridiculous Animal Thing Of The Day (VIDEO)

"No. No words. Poetry. They should have sent a poet."

Here's the play-by-play: a baby kitten is dreaming while asleep next to its mother. Said baby kitten starts twitching its tiny, adorable paws. Mother cat squeezes baby kitten into a warm, nurturing, fuzzy hug. Everyone in the world collectively loses their minds with joy. And scene.

From National Geographic:
"Mummy is doing what mummy cats do. Like humans, they sort of fall in love with their babies—the hormone involved is oxytocin, it’s involved in all sorts of bonding, even between humans and their pets—so she’s cuddling up and keeping her baby close. She seems to be in slow-wave sleep, not REM, and the kitten’s movements seem to disturb her slightly. One limb happens to be under the kitten, and she puts her other paw across and feels the presence of her baby. To me it’s a perfectly natural example of maternal care and affection to a kitten who’s dreaming. You could refer to it as a hug. They’re mutually bonded and I think they enjoy the presence of each other. Human analogies are not entirely inaccurate."
