Yello’s strangely affectionate nature wasn’t just odd for him. Many experts state that male cats often try to kill kittens when they are born. In fact, that’s why many people advise keeping the male cat away from pregnant cats.

This type of behavior isn’t unusual for felines. A great example is lions, as many new lions will kill off existing cubs in order to increase their chances of mating with the women in the pride. Male lions have also been known to kill male cubs that threaten their dominance.
10. Unusually Paternal

With all of this information in mind it makes Yello’s behavior even more unique and shocking. It isn’t often that you find a male cat that is so willing to take on a caring paternal role. Yello is truly a special cat and a great father…
