Yello, a male cat from Hanoi, Vietnam, could be seen in a series of photos posted to Facebook cuddling up to soon-to-be mother cat, Tam The, as she was giving birth and in the moments after.

The cats’ owner, Thuy Dong Panda, wrote that she had come home earlier this month to see Tam The in labor, and giving birth to her kittens.

“Good thing the cat daddy is pretty interested in his wife,” she wrote, as translated to English. She explained Yello is not always friendly with everyone he meets.
