Momma and Baby should be fine. *I think that Cutie didn't acknowledge
the little one prior, because she may not have had enough milk, and
3.5 hours later, she was needing her kitten back to "take care of
business" for her. *I was very happy that Cutie knew me well enough to
know, I wasn't going to harm her little one. *I'm even more happy that
the little one (who was briefly called Patches) found her momma, she
was very unhappy with the human who doesn't deal with itty bits very
often.


Wow, a six month old kitten's 4 week old kitten!?


Yeah, I was pretty surprised when they all (nearly all the girls)
popped preggers so early. I know that Cutie was pregnant with more
than one, but she seems to only have the one now. She was so huge,
her little belly would drag the ground. I believe that 2 or 3 or them
have at least one that's alive, I only see them rarely (though I see
Cutie pretty often, considering).

The kitten sounded like she immediately took to the idea of enslaving
people. *Hopefully, when she grows up, she won't be a skittish feral
kitten, because she'll remember the brief and exciting visit she had
with you.


Patches was the cutest, hollerin'est little thing. She did *not* want
her picture taken, and I tried. I have one blurry picture of her butt
(sitting in the plate with kitten chow and some baby food) and another
blurry pic of her face (and my hand sigh). She did seem to like
human interaction, which considering her momma, was very surprising
(then again, she's awfully small, that could change). I hope she
remembers that the human isn't a bad thing.

The other ferals trust me, enough to pet their backs once in a while.
No one else, but they seem to like the food giver giggle. Only a
few always back off when I come out with morning munchies (and the
afternoon one).
