Tandem Mommies


Two of my cats gave birth within a week of each other. I put the kittens in cardboard boxes in the milk room up on a table. I learned the hard way how tomcats kill kittens. And then there are the dogs... I know cats are good at hiding their kittens, but then they grow up wild. If I am going to feed and care for them I want to play with them and watch them grow! Well, the moms decided to combine litters and raise the kitties together. It's just wonderful to see both moms washing and nursing each other's babies, just like a pride of lions would in the wild. I can smooch with the kittens all I want and show them off to visitors.
