It turns out that the adorable cat was a mother cat who was trying her best to protect her two kittens from getting wet by the heavy rain.

In the series of photos that Babariku captured, the mother cat can be seen staring at the user with her lovely round eyes as she shields her black kittens with her two arms.

It was uncertain how long she had to wait for the rain to stop but one thing for sure, the mother cat would never let her kittens get wet from the rain at all.

The mother cat’s sacrifice and unconditional love for her kittens had not only touched Babariku’s heart but also 784,000 hearts online.

As soon as the photos were uploaded on Twitter, they quickly went viral and garnered over 180,000 retweets and hundreds of comments from the netizens.

We hope that the mother cat managed to find a dry and safe place for her and her two cute kittens in this rainy season!
