She will get tired of it...and the well will run dry sooner or later...it is
probably like a pacifier for them.

Please quote relevant parts of messages you reply to (and no top posting
either).  People like me who use certain newsreaders that can be synced
with a newsrc file don't download messages read on a different machine - I
read and replied to your message from work, now I'm home and don't have
much of the thread.  I do have my message, so I can figure out what you
are talking about, but it requires closing this message, opening another,
closing it, and reopening this one.  That's a lot of work to make up for
somebody not following standard procedures.

I still don't understand: the kittens are far younger they would normally
be when the mother rejects them, and even adults snuggle up to a mother
figure (in my case, that's an obese neutered male named Tigger - even
middle aged adult cats cuddle with him) so it's unclear how there could be
any harm.
