I picked up another kitten yesterday. He is another single kitten from a different litter than Doyle or Dora. They sent him home with me because he needed to put on a little bit more weight just like Dora does. The options for him were to stay at the shelter in a cage for the week that he was likely to need to gain the few ounces that he needed or to come home and live with me for that week. We all thought that coming home with me was the best option for him. So now I have three kittens from three different litters.
What is the ironic part you ask? It can be hard to introduce a kitten from another litter into a house that already has a mother cat and her kitten(s). Part of the reason that Doyle and his brother Domino had so much trouble when they were just born was that their mother was young herself and just was not a very protective or attentive mother. The ironic part is that is the same quality that is allowing her to now accept two other kittens from other litters. Since she does not do much for her own kitten and just basically lets me take care of him, she does not mind that there is now two additional kittens around now. Any Doyle his having a blast playing with his new friends.
