  1. You know those stories you often hear about a mommy cat who was kind enough to take on an orphaned kitten as part of her own litter? Sky has now adopted Stumpie. Stumpie is almost 5 months old, but very tiny for his age. I hand reared him from age 2 weeks; at that time, Sky wanted absolutely nothing to do with him. Much hissing and growling, and a puzzled expression - 'surely that can't be MY baby??', and then at age 7 weeks Stumpie went to the shelter to find a home. A few months later, he's back with us :) And now Sky absolutely loves him! He tries to nurse from her, and she lets him. She grooms him all the time, she watches him like a hawk and attacks the other cats who are mean to him. She follows him everywhere. And off course he's happy as a pig in mud - he always wanted a mommy. Life is sometimes strange and wonderful all at the same time?

  2. Oh, that's lovely. It's nice when the big boy cats start mothering the little kittens too, who wander around behind them, hero worshipping them!

  3. Sky missed Stumpie and has now accepted him as her own. How wonderful for both of them!
