When your new ducks prefer the cat

[Studabird]

My three legged cat has always been and will always be a heat lamp hog. Whenever there are chicks in the house under a heatlamp she always is there trying to work her way under it. Today when I went to change the bedding this is what happened.

She's not hungry I hope.

Nope. Not hungry just always where ever there is a heat lamp and she can get access. Also since she is a cat always supervised when near unprotected animals.

I have 3 cats. Not interested in ducklings at all. Sometimes look at them but never bother them. If they get the cookies the dog barks and runs over to protect them.

She looks like she is being motherly toward them, laying on her side as she would for kittens. Our female cat loves being around baby chicks and does the same. If we don’t let her in with them, she’ll lay on top of the brooder cage. I think babies of all kinds emit a pheromone that causes this mothering reaction.
