It seems that the mother cat knows exactly what's going on - she appears sad, and is licking her son carefully with all the love she can give.

It is a painful scene that many breeders probably face all too often.

It feels as if the mother cat is telling us "don't take him". It's so heart-wrenching.

It shows that the we all lament the departure of your offspring. A video like this reminds us that if we ever welcome a pet in our family, we taken on the responsibility of providing him or her a happy life.
