Maurice, a fluffy gray-and-white house cat, stars in a foster-kitten cat clip that melts timelines. The reel shows him “trying to be a good mama,” as on-screen text teases. He noses through streamers, snatches a kitten gently, and trots off like a proud parent.
The creator is Samantha Bell (@samanthabellcats), a cat expert who fosters. She posted the clip three weeks ago, set to Carlos Campos’ “Param-Pam-Pam,” calling Maurice “sweet and weird in the best way.”
Owner says male cat ‘wants to be a mama’ in video
Maurice lives with Bell’s family of resident cats and fosters, filmed in a cozy living room. He keeps relocating foster kittens to his chosen hangouts, often amid party decorations on the rug. The upload is from three weeks ago, though Bell says he has done this for years. Bell writes, “Maurice wants to be a mama,” noting his quirky nurturing streak. He picks up a kitten, carries or nudges him across the carpet, then deposits him neatly. The Cat foster kittens video captures every gentle move.
Male cats rarely help with kitten care, which makes Maurice’s instinct stand out. He seems keyed to comforting smells and soft textures, like the paper pom-poms scattered around. He used to parade kittens to the hallway, Bell notes on-screen, but lately he prefers the living room. The behavior reads like nesting and “site preference,” common in caregiving animals.
The reel’s beats are simple and adorable. Maurice surveys the floor, collects a kitten by the scruff, and marches past the console table. Confetti-colored streamers rustle as he sets the passenger down. He returns for another, repeating the route with calm focus. On-screen text sums it up: “My male cat keeps moving the foster kittens to his favorite spots.”
Reactions leaned delighted and amused. One viewer joked, “It takes a real man to be a single mother.” Another called it “my favorite video to ever exist.” A third quipped, “Maurice giving new foster kittens the house tour.” Others added context: “Considering male cats really don’t participate in kitten rearing, this is especially funny.” The Cat foster kittens video earned all the heart eyes.
