Why Little Kids Love This Cat Family
The big cat has huge shiny eyes, a few tabby stripes on her forehead and back, and a ringed tail. With one paw she holds her kitten, who’s giggling with its eyes squeezed shut. You can even see the little pads on mama’s back paw. The round nest is made of swirly straw, and everything else is nice and big.

Fun Facts About Cats and Kittens
On a farm, mother cats like to find a quiet, warm spot in the straw to raise their babies. Kittens are born with their eyes closed and open them after about a week. A cat usually has three to six kittens at a time. A male cat is called a tom. And when cats feel happy and safe, they purr softly.
