Candace, Rusty knows they are kitties he was present at the birth, Lilly is his special bud! He was a mama in a previous life we are sure!

I don't know if Quoia knows what they are but tiny! they squeal so they MUST need her! (she has had pups before she was given up by her family to rescue)

As for the poor kittens, I have no idea what they will think they are? Dobercats? Caterdobies? I do know they will know they are loved!
