Smokey was terrified of 3-week-old Kumani and Tyche, or perhaps more
accurately, of the b*tchmomma from hell he was certain HAD to be
watching over them....y'know, the "she's gonna find me messing with her
kits and KILL ME" sorta deal.  He relaxed when they told him Dylan was
their mom and was licking them all over by 5 weeks.

Nox, meanwhile, was DISGUSTED.  APPALLED at our behaviour (letting 2
more trailer-trashes into the house), she snubbed us for a good week,
and would not set paw in the bedroom, our first time without a headnox
for either of us at night.  Two weeks later she too was grooming them
(attempting to make them her minions, no doubt)

LOL I remember that!!

Those two kittens are such individuals.

Sounds about the way Little Bit and Sammy reacted to Spot's kits. They
were the first Sammy had seen since she was one herself, so she didn't
know what to make of them. LB knew what they were right away, but
didn't want anything to do with them. I'm sure it didn't help[ that
Spotty was overprotective and had a hissy fit if either of the
established girls showed the least interest.

And I sure remember the times I was SURE one of the bitties had
somehow transported to another dimenision. The problem with trying to
keep track of the little ones is that when they're in the "go" mode
they're going 110%. and then it seems they flip the off switch and
they just collapse wherever they are and take a nap.
