I don't know. He hasn't met any since he was a kitten himself. But with
his non-aggressive nature, I can see him mothering a kitten. (Oh, no, I
can't! Get that image out of your head right now! We can't handle any
more cats in this household!)

They're both still so young that they might just end up romping and
playing with a kitten instead of mothering it. So Caliban is a
paternal pacifist type like Frank.
If you want to purge the image from your head, then try imagining it
in a really incongruous way. Imagine yourself saying, "Niece,
dahling, please be a dear and requisition for me another purebred
Russian Blue kitten with championship bloodlines." :)

LOL!! That reminds me, my niece told me this summer, as she was watching
Miranda moving gracefully about the cliffs, that Mir is one of the most
perfect Russian Blues she has seen. I'm sooo glad that she couldn't
become a showcat. She would have hated it, she is so shy and skittish
around new people. I shudder to imagine how she would have felt in a
cage in a cat show. And she would probably have had one or two litters
by now (if she didn't have epilepsy in her bloodline).

You sound like me. I was so relieved when we had Kayla spayed because it
meant there was no longer any chance of deciding just once to see what cute
puppies she and the neighbor border might produce.
I am planning to teach her agility but really only to keep her mind
occupied. For now our equipment is the children's playground when no one is
there. And the cats leading her a merry chase around the furniture in the
house. They love that she gets yelled at and they don't.

LOL, and I thought ours were bad for teaching Speedy tag and hide and seek.
They also think it is funny when the Speedster gets into trouble.

I'm sure Caliban would *love* a ginger kitten. :-)

Your're doomed now! The Mothership has heard you! Wonder when your
kitten will turn up?
