[QUOTE="donna723, post: 597453, member: 1883"] You know, if you have another mama cat with kittens around, they will sometimes adopt each others kittens and take care of them. I feed every stray cat in the city limits here. I had one little gray tiger stripe cat that had three gray striped kittens in a big flower pot on my front porch. A few weeks later I saw what I thought was them in a flower bed on the side of the house and assumed that she had moved them. But no ... what I had were two gray striped mama cats, each with three gray kittens, all about the same size! Oh joy! A few weeks later I heard a kitten crying from the flower bed. The mama and two babies were gone, just one little cold lonely kitten. I thought the mama was probably in the process of moving them and just hadn't gotten to him yet so I left him there but the next morning he was still there by himself. They were not quite weaned yet. So I just took him to the flower pot and dropped him in with his "aunt" and her kittens. She sniffed him a couple of times, then he burrowed in and started nursing along with his cousins ... problem solved! I still don't know what happened to the other two kittens but the other mama cat eventually came back and now they take turns nursing the remaining four kittens. They won't all do this but I've seen quite a few that did. [/QUOTE]
