Surrogate mother cat!

It was apalling to see how Patchi seemed to be so restless trying to get near Tiger and the newly born kittens. My kids were trying hard to seperate Patchi away into the other part of the house so that she cannot get near Tiger and the kittens. However I felt there would be no harm to see what exactly Patchi wanted to do with Tiger and her new borns. I thought probably Patchi was being sad because she had not found her own kittens.( She went missing for 6 days from 28th October 2009 until 6th.October 2009; and I was pretty sure that she went off to deliver her kittens away from me and my kids prying eyes). Thus I let Patchi get near the new family. It was amazing to see how Patchi seemed so happy to share caring for the little kittens. Infact she kept licking Tiger ...I interprate that as understanding of a sisterly love cat woman...hehe.
