Parent cats will keep their children safe and warm, protect them from predators, lick and clean them, and lick their eyes to encourage them to open when in time. The kitten also needs help from its mother to defecate and urinate, because they need a manual stimulant to do so until the kitten is a little older. So it can be concluded that kittens at this stage are completely helpless and will not be able to live without the help of their mothers.
