Mother and Child
A stray cat wandered into my house and gave birth in a flower pot (not very smart). I then moved the kitten into a shoe-box and padded it with clothes to make a nice soft bed! This was taken when it was still in the pot.

Cute little darling, lovely picture

You know, I actually read the mother’s expression as rather apprehensive – she looks wide-eyed and fearful, like a desperate single mum! Only one kitten? -guess that makes you lucky!
Anyway, beautiful shot. Nice to see her relaxing and all cleaned up in the bottom photo, without the dirt on her nose.

Thanks a lot guys for your comments, I really appreciate it. As the cats were strays I couldn’t really tame them, just fed them and play with them until the kitten grew older and the mom moved it away :(
Hope they will come back like the last ones.

Beautiful image. I like the effect you used also. You can see the look in her eyes of a mom that just don’t know what the future holds for her and her baby. Hopefully they have touched your heart and will become a part of your family!

Pat Yager
Oh, Vincent, thank you for helping this little mother out so well! She obviously was in need of some love and protection, which you so kindly gave her. And from one of the other pics, it looks like you cleaned her up and can we assume she is no longer a stray? – Pat
Vincent Teh replied
Thank you Pat, for commenting. Unfortunately she’s been feral for too long so she wouldn’t stay with us. She would only come back for food, stay a while then would go off again.
Tama Blough
A stray gave birth outside and then moved everyone into my laundry – loved those little kittens! This is such a great shot and reminded me of my stray.
Teresa Schultz
I’m sorry she’s gone again, a lovely cat, and glad she chose your home to have her kittens, you can see the “feral” in her expression, very well captured!
Vincent Teh replied
Thanks Teresa, yeah we all miss her :(
