It was very hard to get a photo of them because they were moving, here are Comeaux and Dansig. Comeaux is "making biscuits" (treading his paws as he would have when nursing on his mama) on Dansig while Dansig gives him a bath.

| Dansig is the only one of our adult cats to always unconditionally accept every kitten. |
 |
| The kittens are always grateful for him. |

ReplyDeleteMimi,
ReplyDeleteI liked comic books when I was younger. My favorite was The Archies. It's been years that I've read one. If I'm not mistaken I think there is a TV show called "Riverdale" on The CW based around comic book characters. I think it's a sci-fi series. I haven't watched it, though.
How interesting Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones share the same birthdate! That makes life a little easier in their family, huh?
I remember the TV series, "Beauty and the Beast" but I didn't watch it a lot. I noticed Netflix has the non-animated film production of "Beauty and the Beast" which I may watch while using the elliptical this week. I watched the "Cinderella" (not the cartoon) a few weeks back and I really enjoyed it.
There is always a one grumpy cat in the bunch. It's a good thing the younger kitties just ignore him and keep on lovin' Dansig despite his cantankerous ways. Have a good week, my friend!
what a lovely cat to be so kind to all the kittens! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHe's such a good cat and a handsome one too. A big Awww for being such a good cat to all the kitties.
ReplyDeleteHave a purrfect Awww Monday. ☺
What a loving and nurturing cat and sweet photos ~ thanks, ^_^

Sweet photo, but I must confess, I prefer puppy dogs over kitty cats any day of the week. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing cats making a fuss good capture
ReplyDeleteHave a tanfastic day :-)
Heartwarming! What a great big brother he is.
ReplyDeleteI don't think many adult male cats would do that. Very cute.
ReplyDeleteDansig is a great foster parent.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cutie and so sweet.
