I can't believe this: Luna is nursing Lily!

I just couldn't believe my eyes:

My girls were cuddling on their pillow together, as usual, when I heard some funny sounds. When I looked, I saw the baby had her face in the long fur of Luna's belly and was in fact suckling! :) And Luna seemed to enjoy it because she was licking Lily's head and they both purred. They were like that for at least 10 minutes, and looked so happy together! :)

I find this especially amazing since Luna has been taken away from her litter and mommy at the very young age of 6 weeks, and she has been spayed at the age of 5 months and - of course - never had kittens of her own. So I'm really surprised what a good mommy she makes! :)

Oh, Kirsten, I got tears in my eyes looking at those beautiful girls together!!! It is a match made in heaven, for sure!!!!! :)

Arent they the sweetest:)
Whenever I see a new L+L thread I am already looking forward:)

Filou was nursing on Tigris (who is 3 weeks younger) at least for 3 months. :rolleyes: And Tigris accepted it although he's no girl:)

Such a cute pair! Great pictures, thanks for sharing them.

A match made in heaven!!!! Such a blessed sight! Thanks for making my heart flutter!:D

OK, that is just precious!!!

I KNEW Luna would come around, I mean, WHO could resist that face????? ;)

That's just too cute. Basie and Hermie do that too...its just sweet!!!

I've never had kitties that did that. You are so lucky:D :D

thanks so much for sharing.

AWWWW Kirsten, you ARE so lucky!!! That is adorable!! They are a perfect Match! Congrats to you and your happy couple! :D :D

Oh Kirsten, they are absolutely beautiful. I agree they are a match made in heaven. :)

You are so lucky. I wish my kids could get along like that.

They really look like mother and daughter! Amazing.....

(Hmmm....I wonder if this would work for Eddie and Edwina....hmmmm)

Wow, it's just amazing to me how fast this has all happened with them. What precious pictures.

:D :D :D :D :D :D

What a wonderful set of pictures!!!!!!!

Kirsten, they are surely meant for each other. How lucky can you get! :D Just wonderful!!

That's so awesome. They are both beautiful!

Awww, is that sweet or what! :)

Ooooooh, they're so sweet! It must've made your heart melt when you saw them together :D

Yes, it's been a wonderful and sweet moment in a more or less horrible day. :)

These kitties are always so close to each other now, and seem to enjoy each other's company - well, at least most of the time! LOL

It's not even three weeks they live together now, and they're already friends. They also eat together from one bowl now - even though each of them has their own bowls.

And when they meet, they rub against each other and Luna licks Lily, it's so cute... :)

Kirsten

Isn't it wonderful that even on a bad day you can just look at Luna and Lily to be able to smile. :)

Have I really missed this thread yesterday!? I must be nuts!!!

This is so darn cute...these two just belong together...it is as if they have just waited their entire life to meet each other...
WONDERFUL!!!:D :D :D

These pictures are priceless. :D I'm so glad that Luna and Lily have become such good friends or maybe mother and daughter. :)

Those are the CUTEST pictures EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I, too, got tears in my eyes from this. Such sweet, special cats. That has got to be proof that God put animals here for our happiness.

Those pictures are so precious!

How precious,hey!!
Your cats acts just like my two here. During Inka's first months Maya nursed her too,although she also never had a litter!

This proves one happy thing: Luna and Lily will later be the best possible buddies!!:) :cool:

cute kitties! How sweet!

Yep, those ARE the cutest pictures ever!!! They do look like mother and daughter together. You must be delighted. :D

they really are a purrfect pair! So precious. I love it when kitties are cuddly with one another.
I'm sure Luna is a wonderful mother figure.

AWWWW OMG that is the cutest thing!! :) I always marvel at stories of cats nursing kittens, even though they are spayed and have never had kittens of their own. I think it is the most beautiful thing that they can have that instinct, just like that.

So precious, take more pics! :D

I had witnessed Juni trying to nurse on Ti when he was living with us, but just this morning I saw Juni doing the same to Miley and both were in heaven. I thought Miley was sick, she was so still, with her eyes closed. I couldn't believe Miley was tolerating it. Both cats kept it up for at least 5 minutes. When I got out of bed, they broke up their feeding session and got on with being fresh with each other- their usual bickering back and forth!

Same here, it really looked like a very special moment of peace to both of them! Isn't it wonderful to just look at them? :)

Kirsten

I was amazed at the satisfaction they were both getting..... especially Miley. Miley isn't known for her....well, her personality....she is a bit of a pain in the butt. I was just so so surprised to see this.

It was comforting to me to see them both at such peace.

I'm sure Miley's heart was just melting that moment... :) How cute! :) :) :)

Kirsten

What great pics - they are adorable and they look so happy together!

AAAaaaaawww!
