Can you even believe this is the same kitten? <\/p>\n

This is Nimitz’s “mom”, Lily, with one of her (actual) kittens. She’s accepted Nimitz into her litter with no problem, and he’s accepted her as “mom” too. I don’t think anybody plans on pointing out the discrepancy of a super-sized kitten to either party anytime soon. It may not read this way in the pictures, but he is bigger than the rest of the litter – he’s something like 1.5x bigger than the other kittens. But they’re all cool with him being there, so it’s all good. Incidentally, I only discovered yesterday that Lily is the daughter of this stray cat<\/a> who I rescued before Evan was born – what a coincidence, eh? (Not to mention that she looks uncannily like her mom.) I thought that was an interesting bit of stray cat karma there.<\/p>\n Nimitz will be there a few weeks longer as he and the other kittens are weaned and Lily puts them through “cat academy” – i.e. pouncing, stalking, playing, and generally learning to be cats. In the meantime, he cleans up nicely, doesn’t he? Here he is being used as a cushion by his smaller sisters and brothers. I like that resting-his-face-on-his-hand look that just says “Why do these guys have to lay on<\/em> me?” He did pop out and come right to me when I visited, however – further confirming that this one can be filed under “meant to be.”<\/p>\n If anyone local wants to adopt one of the other kittens, let me know, I can probably arrange something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Can you even believe this is the same kitten?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-critters"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelogbook.com\/earl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelogbook.com\/earl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelogbook.com\/earl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelogbook.com\/earl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelogbook.com\/earl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1381"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelogbook.com\/earl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1381\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelogbook.com\/earl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelogbook.com\/earl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelogbook.com\/earl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Nimitz,](\"https:\/\/www.thelogbook.com\/earl\/hizzouse\/q2-09\/nimitz3.jpg\")
