Spent some quality time with the African Wild Cat at Cheetah Experience in South Africa when volunteering. I was petting one of the yearling female when she started to knead onto a giant stuffed teddy bear. Kneading is a cub/kitten behavior that all cats do to help stimulate milk production from the mother. It serves to get the milk to flow better through her teats. It's like when we squeeze the air out of an air mattress to get all of it out we can. They do this normally when kittens, but if they are removed from their mother, the behavior can extend into adulthood. Many of a domesticated cat does this and is why. Wild ones are no different.
Once she was finished kneading, she laid down on top of her surrogate mother stuffed teddy bear and went to sleep... Comforted and content. Thought it was awfully cute, so decided to share it with you.
People may wonder why these kittens were taken from their mother. I do not know the answer, but usually when projects get animals that are NOT endangered, some other circumstance has occurred and these projects offer up a home for them. I think these were bred by some breeder that didn't want them. CE did NOT breed these Wild Cats.
Thanks for watching!
