After the critical points of surviving have been taken care of, Momma Cat teaches things to babies - manners with claws and biting, litterbox manners, not playing too rough, etc. How does a surrogate (human) mother teach those social skills? Especially so they are model kittens for adopters
, so they will come back to adopt from the rescuer or rescue org again, and so baby doesn't end up in a shelter because of behavior problems.
Thanks Dusty!
