Wow Cathy . . . unique capture! I'd be afraid he'd be thinking "Hmmmm, Hor d'ovres".... :)

Oh my God how gentle she takes care of the little ones...In my opinion this is a very emotional picture as those you can only see on Animal Planet... excellent picture, love it.

These kittens are now 2 and a half years old and still have their "nightcap" from their surrogate mum every evening! She's still producing milk. Cathy

Hi Cathy,

I love this shot. The maternal instinct is never far from the surface. Well done!

I like your portfolio. You have a great eye.

Thanks for visiting my pics and leaving a comment for me.

This is an amazing shot. What happened to the mom of the kittens? Andree


Cathy Carroll   {K:27874} 7/8/2006
Dear Andree, The kittens' mum Lily died when they were 4 days old, probably snake bite. The dog Maggie & Lily were good friends. When Lily became pregnant Maggie had a "Phantom Pregnancy". When the kittens were born Maggie collected stuffed toys & put them in a pile at our bedroom door, & began producing milk. We showed her the kittens & she fed them immediately. To carry them around she scooped them up in her mouth so that only a tiny tail stuck out. The first time I saw that I nearly had a heart attack! Cathy


andree lerat   {K:17140} 7/9/2006
Thank you Carroll. This is such a heart warming story. More proof that animals are not so different from us. I remember when I was in college, I wanted a friend for my dog, Tara, to keep her company while I was in school. I got a tiny black kitten from the shelter. I came home not long after and found Tara walking around with the kitten hanging lamp for her jaws. Imagine my horror... until she look at me and gently put him down and he just playfully walked away. :) Thanks for sharing my friend. Cheers, Andree

Dear Cathy!
Its so heart warm story. She and all kittens are so cute, sweety. I can hear the voice of kittens while searching an empty teat.
According my experiences kitten adult dog relationship works well. But puppy adult cat relation ship is approximately impossible. I like so much the cats. But we must accept that the cats are egoiste. And the dogs are the wonderful creatures of GOD as a fidelity statue.
Warm Regards. Big kisses for your respectful dog and for your cat.
ALI
