Maine Coon Cat Dad Sweetly Watches Over Mom and Kittens in Heartwarming Video
Welcoming a litter of kittens can be exciting for everyone involved, from the mother herself to the owners who get to witness them being born. Sometimes, though, even Dad sticks around to take in the magical moment.
In a priceless TikTok video from @asupportivepaw, one Maine Coon cat dad sits patiently outside his baby mama's birthing box as she lovingly bathes and feeds her kittens. He's such a supportive partner, and it just warms our hearts to see!

How sweet is this? We were already smiling from ear to ear when we saw this doting dad watching lovingly from the sidelines, but we nearly shed a tear when he literally offered a supportive paw to Mama. Some human dads aren't even that intuitive!
Maine Coon cats tend to be friendly, outgoing cats, so it doesn't surprise us to see this dad hanging around his little family. Especially if these parents are bonded--he's probably around quite a bit! Still, that doesn't detract from the sweetness of such moments.
"It's amazing how some male animals are like, 'yep that's mine I helped make them,'" agreed @audipie247. Isn't it adorable? Not all animal fathers are this way, so it's extra special that this gorgeous gray cat is. We know he'll continue to be a great influence as the kittens grow up, and we're sure he'll be happy to have Mom back to himself later, too!
Another detail that commenters loved was this dad's respect for Mom's boundaries. As @anna_m0rie said, "I love how she told him off when he was going to climb over the top." She knows what's best! Luckily, this Maine Coon dad respected her wishes and was rewarded with cuddles when she was ready.
