Just Call Me Mr. Mom


This is Conner. Conner is a 4 month old kitten who has taken on the role of "older brother" to all our younger kittens at the adoption center. Apparently, that wasn't enough, as now all the kittens like to suckle on Conner right after dinner and before bed. He doesn't even care. Check out how wet his tummy is after being Mr. Mom! We have been careful to make sure this is not a repetitive or harming behavior, and has only happened a couple times. Kittens and adults do this when they feel safe and content. It is funny though to see a group of 8 kittens on top of each other purring and kneading. A few just took it the extra mile and decided Conner could be surrogate mom!
