The furry family
On our homestead we are surrounded by lots of animals, mainly rescued. These are the furries, or not so furry in some cases. Not including the livestock...
Jock and Rufus the Staffordshire Bull Terriers.
Scout the German Shepherd (head of security)
Pepe AKA El Guapo (the handsome)
Vladimir
Munchkin
Crabby
Maud
Gremlin
Terrence (Tez)
Kittens remain with their mother till the age of 9 weeks.
Tez was found walking around the village in the cold by himself. No mother in sight. He was quite a lot smaller than he is now. You are right they should stay with their mothers for 9 weeks.
The first cat show was in 1871 at the Crystal Palace in London.
