Oh! So cute!! I haven't had a kitten in, hmm, 22 years or so! I was living in an apartment with my then-boyfriend, and someone came to the door with a hugely pregnant cat and asked him if he wanted a kitty. (I was NOT HOME! It was NOT MY FAULT!) He said yes, and two weeks later we had six cats instead of one. We found homes for three of the kittens, but ended up with two of them left and the mother cat. When S moved to Ireland for a year abroad three months later, George, Gracie, and MamaKitty ended up moving home with me and my Mom, where they ended up staying for the next 19 years or so. They all died within two months of each other in early 2004, so that's a pretty good run. May your mother's kitties live long healthy lives!
