It’s finally time for Maine Coon cat Dexter to meet his kittens!
They have seen each other through the plastic wall before, but it will be a whole different thing when Dexter enters the room and meets his kittens nose to nose for the first time ever!

Those kittens are fearless!!!!
Why are you forcing their interaction when Dad is clearly uncomfortable?
Dexter actually did really good. He's always like this upon meeting any cat even kittens for the first time. 😊
My, someone woke up on yhe wrong side of the litter box this morning!
Generally cat fathers are not welcome by mom nor are they comfortable around kittens, even their own (they can't smell them and ID them as their offspring). Dogs are the same way. They can learn to be otherwise but it's not their general nature. I don't blame Dexter, he's a young fellow and isn't sure how to react around babies he feels no bond to and a suddenly hostile female who used to act quite differently. Everybody will calm down after the kittens get bigger and more independent and things chill out a bit.
"Это точно НАШ папа🫣🙄?" – напугал детей красавчик Декстер! Возможно, он рано стал отцом? Или это вообще не входило в его планы 🤔?

wow – Dad's growl is very lion-like and his hiss is like a steam engine! Think kittens are more fascinated.
Now we know where Ash gets his growl motor!
Love how little sweetnesses freeze when Dexter growls in their faces…
I think Dexter is hissing because he is not comfortable there.
Well, a bit of a shaky start but some cats take longer to get used to new family members than others. Dexter was already more calm the next day still. Also, the kittens behaved really well so that will help Dexter warm up to them more quickly. 😊
❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Prince Brock Came Up To DaDa and Immediately Offered The Kitten Paw 🐾 Of Solidarity He Learned From Big Brudder Galileo, Then A Nap…. ❤❤ But That
Lil Prince Ash Like Princess Ada Has Stolen My Heart ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 Pretty Please Can I Have Him 🙏 😢
Listen to that growl…thats were Ash gets his growly voice from with the crunchy toy!!! Mistys like what did i do? And Brocks like ok papa you master i listen and learn from you!!! And Ash is like ok ya you dont scare me…..i will growl back….
Wow, Dexter is a REAL tiger!
Why waiting so late for him to meet them?
I think what is going on with Dexter is more fear and territoriality than aggression. He may not be as well socialized as the others. He is, however, one formidable looking creature!
A good beginning. Dexter might have growled, but he is more careful, then hostile. Luna is a great mother, so the kittens are safe.
He was definitely interested in sniffing them when it didn't seem like they were ambushing him or getting up in his personal space. And he was also standoffish when it was Ada and her siblings, yet he and Ada get along now. It's just gonna take time with Dexter, he's not the laid back Buster after all.
Poor Dexter! I always expect to see him with a cigarette pack rolled in the sleeve of his t-shirt, to show he’s one of the cool guys. And the kittens just look at him: “dude, what is your problem?”. Just no respect, poor guy. 💕🇨🇦
Aw first baby was volunteered as tribute lol
Poor kitties… they were scared…
I don’t think daddy Dexter is ready for this responsibility. It’s too soon.
Dexter’s a real pill.
Kittens did well for the first time with Daddy Dexter. He doesn’t really know they’re his babies. Luna gave him instructions though. Luna is always near to protect. Misty is pensive, Brock was brave to lay close and Ash poked him. They’ll be buddies very soon. Cats being cats.
Misty and Brock and Ash are so beautiful and adorable🥰🤗Dexter is such a grumpy Dad Dexter needs a couple of more time to realize he is a Dad . Luna is good Mommy . Overall, I think it went really well for a first meeting god bless all your cats and kitten and you too

Luna making sure they are luved an ok.😊
A veterinary nurse told me once that female cats are tough, because they have to be to survive and protect their young. Sometimes the smallest female is the one who hisses the most at a strange cat.
Aha! So Dexter is the dad❤
"Why don't you like us, Daddy Dexter? We're your little children?"
"Mama Luna, Daddy Dexter doesn't like us. Make him like us, Mama Luna"!
It was so funny. The kittens seemed "shell shocked", by Daddy Dexter's reaction to them.
And really funny that Uncle Buster's magic box made an appearance 🙂
Thanks so much for the great video. I'm sure Daddy Dexter will come around, right?
I have honestly lost track of who was who and which litter the older cats are from , however, they are all so stinking adorable , daddy is grumpy but his babies are adorable, also do male cats recognize their offspring?
Luna: "You can see the kittens, but don't touch them."
Dexter: "But, what if they try to touch me? Then I'll be touching them, because they are touching me."
Luna: "Must I explain everything? Those are the rules. Hiss at them if you have to, but no touching."
Dexter: "O.K. Touching is bad, but hissing is good. Got it."
Waiting for them to meet Uncle Buster, they'll be wondering 'just how many cats live here'?!?!?
I think the first meeting limit was reached when Dexter continued to hiss and growl on the bed.
0:52 Mama chased him down and demanded he be apart of his children's lives
Dexter has a major attitude problem!! Lol!
The poor Kittens are scared
That's was the cutest video I have seen on this channel. I laughed out loud about 10 times. I was cracking up! Too cute!!
Ash:
This has to be a nightmare. Maybe if I touch him he will disappear.
Oh no!!!! My father is a grump!!!
Well, I wasn't expecting THAT! Poor little Ash. He looked so confused at first. " What did I do to deserve being hissed at by dad?" But later he & the others did stand their ground. I hope Dexter loosens up and warms up to the kittens before they leave.
Looks like Dexter had a bit of a domestic spat with the missus over his being an absentee father all this time! It's understandable since he has no means of support but now he has to find a job so he can say he takes care of his kids! What marketable skills can Dexter add to his resume?
Just like with humans. Family reunification is not always easy. But Dexter only hissed. He probably still needs time to accept the three newcomers in his environment.💖
so dex is the father? woww
