I know the big cats do make sacrifices because we foster kittens. They're not always able to eat EXACTLY when they want to be fed. Doors are closed and they're kept in or out of places when kittens are in our care. Naps are interrupted. Our time is monopolized, and they don't get as much playtime or supervised deck outings as they would like to have.
But when I see moments like this, I know that what they contribute to the lives of these little ones is valuable and makes a difference. Though Wylla and Charlene might not understand or agree with it, I feel those little sacrifices are all worth it.
Those first 2 pictures are sooo precious!
ReplyDeleteThose are some of the sweetest pictures I'e seen in a long time.
ReplyDeleteWe are all so happy that Wylla loves kittens, too.
ReplyDelete"I loves you Auntie Bean." "I loves you too, little Chesley."

The socialization of kittens with other cats is as important as with people! They're more adoptable.
ReplyDeleteChesley's little face is pure love in the first couple of pics.
ReplyDeleteSomeone is going to get a Super Snuggle Bug in Chelsey. Love how Wylla and Beanie stop and smell he Chelsey.
ReplyDeleteJust adorable! Charlene and Wylla are the best kitten mentors ever.
ReplyDeleteSo cute--being used to grown cats is a plus for these sweeties come adoption time!
ReplyDeleteWylla learned well from the Purfessor Butterbean.
ReplyDeleteAnd they each have shared the lessons well with the Higgenbottoms.
The second picture is possibly the best thing in the world ever. I can't even.
ReplyDeleteThese are incredible! I haven't seen love captured this well in so long! You guys are doing such a good job for the kitties!
ReplyDeleteCharlene taught Wylla how to be the best foster mom.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is what pure, unconditional love looks like. How beautiful and heartwarming! Thank you for sharing these precious moments with us, Laurie.
ReplyDeleteI'm melting. Simply melting. Having Charlene and Wylla help in fostering the kittens are setting those babies up for wonderful homes!
ReplyDeleteI think both sides receive much more than they give!
