The Lessons Continue

Yesterday, I watched another example of how kittens learn from one another. Aurora enjoys playing with a ‘stacked’ track-ball toy, the balls moving in tiered grooves. Miss Chiff and Theodore were interested in the sounds the toy was making while their foster-sister played with it, so they came close to watch.


Eventually, Chiff, who is more shy than her brother with people but bolder in regard to toys, came nearer. Aurora, still unsure of the relative newcomers, moved away a bit but observed, as a teacher might observe her pupils. Chiff started playing with the track-ball. Then, Theodore, who also had been watching, tried his paw at the toy. Now all three enjoy it in turns.


And so life is taught…

  3. Kittens are always fascinating and amusing to watch. Hopefully Theodore and Chiff will be adopted together so that they can continue to learn from each other.
