We've got a cat we call CPS, as a nickname because he so protective of baby
cats. Cat Protective Services. He sat in the garage with 3 babies for weeks
and weeks in a little square kind of 3 sided cage. They still adore him.
I've read that some male animals try to kill the babies of other males but
maybe in a friendly environment the worst isn't brought to the surface. Did
anyone see "Meerkats" on PBS? I couldn't watch after I saw how cruel the
head meerkat was to the other female who got pregnant. They made it seem
that the alpha female was the only one who was supposed to have offspring. I
guess there is some rough behavior in both sexes, although I would agree
that males are much more likely to be dangerous in animals and people.
