and no affence but i dont belive that people handle kittens when they are still feeding from the mother
then theres more of a chance the mother will reject the kittens

I think you need to do some more research... it's not true with ferrets either...

Cute pictures!!

Afraid not sprokett. If the mother knows who is handling her kittens, she is just fine. Even if its a stranger- the concern is not whether or not the mother would reject ( which she wouldnt) but MORE so that the intruder might be treated as such.
A wild animal might leave their babies- but not a domesticated. and even then- most wild animals will take them back.
Handling kittens or puppies when young, is the best way to help them adjust to human contact.

Dr. G., how are the kittens and their momma doing? Could you give them just a gentle little pet for me, since they are little.
