When I first got Maui last June (she was a barn cat from Mom) Heidi kind of took her in, she let her suckle on her till her teats got too sore then she *weaned* her, just like she was her own kitten.
I lost my old tom (at 15 years), he had a massive heart attack according to the vet, :cry: last fall, so having her made his loss easier to bear for both of us.
My old tom....
Maui....in the beginning....
