Well what can I say...
No surprise there when a Schnauzer is involved
Thomas T Shnat.
Years ago we heard a mewing pitifully coming from a packing case in the garage and found a tiny black kitten there.
We guessed it had been placed there by its mother; queens who produce a litter away from home frequently distribute the kittens around, nature’s way of trying to ensure the survival of at least some of them I guess.
We put the tiny little thing in a box by the stove and gave it a little warm milk and brandy in an eye dropper, it was obviously newly born and we did not hold out much hope that it would live.
Some time later we went back to the kitchen to find the kitten gone, Fran the Schnauzer had picked it up and taken it into bed with her.
Fran, a wonderful mother had whelped a few months earlier and the litter had been weaned. In no time at all she had produced milk and was feeding the tiny kitten herself.
Fran used to sit in the dog bed with the kitten tucked under her and an expression of smug delight on her face.
The kitten stayed with Fran until he was old enough to be weaned and he grew into a magnificent black cat; he was named Thomas T. Shnat.
