Operation Domestication Support Crew






They say it takes a village to raise a child, and this seems to be most helpful when dealing with a frightened kitten as well. This crew works around the clock to be good role models for him. Tiger at top is a lightly older cage mate who shows him the ropes through wrestling matches. The grey guy is his litter mate and purring coach, Mister Ginger allows all the kittens to slap at him and even pull his tail, and finally "fake Mama" who acts motherly even though she doesn't need to. Together we have made little man go from a terrified ball of claws to a playful, though still somewhat unwilling student of domestication.
