Kitten

A male cat named Maurice has taken on a surprisingly nurturing role with his foster kittens. He gently lifts a kitten by the scruff and carries it to spots he enjoys, such as the hallway and the living room. In the living room, he places the kitten among party decorations and gives it a sniff before stepping back.

The kittens, however, are not eager to follow his itinerary. After the first kitten is set down, another joins and the two run off together while Maurice watches calmly. His human captioned the clip “Maurice is trying to be a good mama,” noting that female cats usually handle most kitten care in the wild.

The video has gathered more than 118,000 likes, and commenters joked that Maurice has a whole itinerary planned. Toward the end, Maurice looks toward the camera, adding a playful touch to the scene.
