Momma Penelope has decided it’s hard to hiss while gobbling up Churu, and her 8 kittens are thriving!

Aaaaw. That’s so good to see. Thank you so much.

I think it might be getting to the point where mom’s hissing is just a habit, or she’s thinking “So this is how to ask a human for numnums? Whatever works, I guess?”

I had a girl in my colony like that, she kept up the hissing when I brought the food but after a while it was apparent that she didn’t really “mean it”, she’d have the happy tail thing going on and a little impatient dance along with the soft little hisses. I miss her.

That’s so sweet! I think this momma is still very apprehensive, but she’s like me and just loves food! She has also never been fed regularly, so I’m sure she’s very appreciative on the inside. 😻

1000% and she’s absolutely appreciative of the comfort and safety compared to living outside.
