I would rather spend time with animals than with other people.

Pets are far more loyal and loving.

Kitty is a better mother than some hoomins.

Thank you for a lovely story. I needed a feel happy story today. I think the world is going to heck in a hand basket then I see a story like this and I can get through the day .

You’re very welcome. I love interspecies buddy stories.

"Kitty is a better mother than some hoomins."

Yep, this is often true.

The cat’s instincts in over-drive. I had two cat’s give birth to two litters at almost the same time and they would steal each other’s kittens from the other’s litter to get all motherly..Cool story though.

The last litter my tortie had produced five kittens, only two of which looked anything alike (both were orange tabbies; one of them only lived about 12 hours). The only thing we can say about their parentage with certainty is that the black kitten must have had a black daddy. That one was female, as were all of the kittens except the two orange tabbies.

It’s possible for each kitten in a litter to be sired by a different tom. Unspayed female cats are sluts. :)

Why didn’t you ever get her fixed.

I got her fixed as soon as the kittens were weaned. She was a stray we took in, and she was already pregnant at the time.
