I'm willing to let Nature take it's course and I understand that animals can do some things that us humans will never understand but I am bewildered here. I snapped this thing after the tough beat in today's 9th at Belmont. Mister Mittens is happily nursing her kittens although they are long beyond the time of being weaned and have been on solid food for more than two months.
And yet Trouble has his claws out in this photo and is kneading his mother's gut with rythmic action to stimulate milk flow. Mister Mittens is OK with everything that is happening.
My beloved Susan had pups here years ago and when Mom Nature told her thet her pups were "old enough" she would snarl and become nasty when the young ones would try for a nipple.
Cats are indeed strange creatures.
I'm a newbie with cats. Has anybody seen anything like this? Trouble and Shiloh were born July 7th and today is October 14th.
