Looks about a week - 10 days to me walking about like that, just at eye opening stage.

Maybe mum cat is there and they were just letting henny penny borrow them for the vid?

Re: Come under my wing little kittens


Isn't it amazing that so many species will do so much to look after their young & even mother other creatures, it almost brings a tear to your eye when you stop and think about it. My hen was loving her dummy eggs & rolling them underneath her, I've never seen it before & it's totally amazing how nature tells them what their natural instincts should be.

Bless every mother and surrogate mother on this earth.

I do agree, Pat, we've gotten to far from our roots sometimes..

We've had two recent cases of abandoned newborns here recently, and one heartbreaking one of a dead newborn in a dumpster .....
