After giving birth, Grape almost entirely stayed in the wooden box.
Her food bowl and water bowl were placed by Chen Zhou next to the box, and the customized "cat litter pan" was not far away.
Grape is a very patient mother and takes good care of the kittens.
Newborn kittens cannot defecate on their own and need their mother's licking to stimulate them.
After drinking milk and falling asleep, kittens can easily get squashed by their mother because their physical abilities are weak and their bodies are not strong enough. If pressed down for long periods, they are very likely to suffocate.
Chen Zhou placed the cat bed by the bedside to care for Grape and to keep an eye on the kittens.
After all, Grape watches over the kittens all day, licking their fur and nursing them. She's bound to be very tired, and if she's not careful, she might accidentally squash them.
At critical moments, he, as "Grandpa Cat," can be of some help for the kittens' growth.
