the best thing about this is that when there’s plenty of resources, domesticated cats will naturally form colonies. in these colonies female cats raise their kittens communally with their kin. so you get situations where moms will raise kittens with their daughters from a previous litter, cats from the same litter will raise kittens together, etc. so not only does this little old kitty see her human as family, she is also excited to help her with her kitten.
A 14 yr old cat is in her 70s, so this is like your nan getting hyped about your baby and wanting to help and its adorable. Nana nana nana nana nana nana nana nana Cat-nan!
