New moms have a lot of hard work to do – and cats are no different. In fact, most females take care of their kittens all alone and almost always have multiples!
And while they don’t have to look down at their little bundles of joy and wonder how they’re going to pay for college, they do have to feed them, bathe them, potty them (which is a nice way of putting what they really have to do), and get them to behave.
But like all moms, these ones are also proud (if sometimes exhausted). In fact, even when they’re making a face wondering when it’ll all be over, we still have to give them a lot of credit for giving up their bodies to those furry little babies.
Just take a look at these 45 beautiful mama cats:
1) As Different As Can Be
We wonder if these innocent kittens eyes will eventually grow into that intense mom stare.
We just love this beautiful mother cat, who looks like she’s done all she can to get them to look at the camera and is now just saying “take the darn photo.”
What a sweet family! It’s pretty amazing to get the phone family in a photo when they’re not feeding.
And if we had our choice, we’d take home that one in the back.
This mom is going to feed her kitties like this until they are as big as her – and it looks like they are almost there.
They’re all so beautiful and so different. Isn’t cat genetics fascinating?
These cats have the prettiest little faces. They aren’t your typical models but they are just as beautiful!
And that serene look on mom’s face is the cherry on top.
Even though these kittens are old enough to fend for themselves, their mom won’t leave their side.
She’s their fierce protector and we’re sure she’ll teach them how to be tough as well.
These snowy balls of fluff are going to have pretty eyes just like their mommy and daddy.
What beautiful parents! If only we all had genetics this good.
These orange cats are just chilling, learning early that “if they fits, they sits.”
We hope mom didn’t plan to get up anytime soon.
Aww, we hope this little one isn’t the odd one out.
Although it looks like he or she is right up in there with everyone else and no one notices there’s anything different.
Now this is a family photo! It must have been a cold day when they piled up togetherto warm up.
Only the little grey guy looks like he needs to reposition.
This mommy had all female kittens and these sisters have the most innocent and adorable faces.
It’s a good thing mama cats aren’t swayed by those big eyes.
And that’s the reality of motherhood, right?
Mom was probably trying to take a nap when the kittens decided it was time for lunch. Her eyes say that she wasn’t done with that nap though.
12) When The Whole House Is Asleep
This family is all snuggled up and only one little guy is awake.
We love that even mom and dad are snuggling with each other. How sweet!
These little kitties are so freshly born that their limbs are still wrinkly. And mom looks exhausted and proud.
What a beauty!
It looks like mom is asking for some help wrangling the kids during playtime. But she’s got them all in her sights.
They look a little mischevious!
These cats are so chill that it makes you want to go outside and lay out in the sun.
Mom is teaching them the beauty of that big ball in the sky.
She had triplets, but one of them is cuddled up under her tummy.
It looks like she’s the one who asked to have her picture taken!
There’s nothing like the evening light in the soft, green grass.
This mama doesn’t seem to mind being crowded by her babies as long as she can get some fresh air.
18) Proudest Mama And Papa
This scene doesn’t even look real!
Just look at mom and dad proudly watching their kittens eat. They’re so loved!
These snowy blessings are a peaceful as can be, learning to be experts at chilling.
We wonder if playtime looks like a snowball fight.
This cat was found having kittens on the someone’s porch. They didn’t want to disturb her, so they gave her a bucket and are keeping an eye on her throughout her journey.
She’s got this.
21) They Are Their Mother’s Kittens
We definitely see the family resemblance!
We just want to know how she got them to line up and look in the right direction.
These kittens have to watch their mommy and daddy play and wrestle.
No one wants to see that kind of affection, especially your children. Save it for later.
This mommy takes good care of her babies. They are fed, cleaned, and all lined up and ready for a good nap. As soon as they go to sleep, she’s taking a bath and grabbing a glass.
It’s hard to tell how many kittens are here with all of these patterns swirling together.
They’re so tiny and mama looks so sleepy.
25) Bathtime? I Think Not
We all know that cats don’t like water. And why would they? When they are inside cats, they have no need for water when they can clean themselves just fine.
This mommy looks so sweet, cuddling up with her new babies. She’s as proud as can be of them. There seems to be one odd one out nearly every time though!
These parents may only have been given two little blessings, but they are as perfect as can be. One looks just like mommy and one looks just like daddy.
28) Her Eyes Aren’t Glowing
It may just be a camera effect that are making her eyes glow. but just to be safe, I’d leave her kitties alone until they ventured out on their own to play with you.
29) Adoptive Mothers For The Win
This sweet dog is playing mom to some motherless kittens.
What a sweet interspecies moment!
This mom went outside to feed her babies, hoping for a little privacy.
But the papparazzi follows her wherever she goes.
Isn’t this the perfect portrayal of motherhood? These little floofers are all cozy but mommy is bending over backwards to take care of them. What a sweet mama!
If it weren’t for their eyes, you wouldn’t be able to tell what’s going on here. Who is who and what is what? It’s a chair full of cuteness, that we know for sure!
Mommy and her kittens are posing sweetly for the camera. But it looks like daddy is giving the “serious look” to one of the kittens on the lower stairs like “don’t think you’re going anywhere until we get this photo taken.”
These babies look like leopards or cheetahs. Makes you wonder what their daddy looked like. Plus, don’t you love that little guy on the end, smiling in his sleep?
When you can nap with your kids eating on you and climbing all over you, you’ve reached ultimate motherhood. You are conscious but still sleeping. That’s an accomplishment.
Can you get enough of these little guys and their mommy?
They’re just so tiny and cooperative!
37) Caught Me In An Awkward Position
Someone is stunned to see a camera at such a strange moment. She’s trying to feed her kids without another care in the world. Then some human goes and makes it weird.
This just might be their first feeding because those kitties are very tiny.
But mom is making sure they all know how to eat properly.
39) It Was A Rough Delivery
This mom looks exhausted after her delivery but still needs to feed her babies before she rests. Typical, right? The mom life isn’t an easy one, but it’s so worth it.
Imagine looking like a creature from beyond when your kids crawled under you. Not sure if they are eating or just playing but she sure does look like she could use a break.
This is what moms look like when their kids are climbing all over them while they’re trying to watch Netflix.
Do you think she’s watching Stranger Things or maybe The Witcher?
42) Bluest Eyes You’ll Ever See
Those big, blue eyes are so mesmerizing.
And her kittens look otherwordly with their glowing eyes as well.
Each and every one of these guys knows how to look at the camera and say cheese! They must get it from their mom. She sure is a lucky one and so are they!
These grey fluffers are as cute as can be and while mom looks like a cat-octopus hybrid she’s clearly intent on doing her job.
Don’t you hate it when your mommy and daddy kiss in front of you? At least they waited until their kids were asleep to enjoy some alone time together.
