Seldon has become my Kitty Ambassador of Good Will. Not only does he love Saffron and Sachi. He cuddles with them on the cat tree. He goes door to door talking to the other cats in seclusion.
My new foster cat Persephone and her 4 kittens are in seclusion and he hangs out outside their door laying on his stomach gabbing away. Then he moves on to Lucia and her kittens' room lays on the floor gabbing away through the door. If a kitten escapes he corrals them back in the room or blocks them from going down the stairs. Then he starts meowing loudly for me to come.

The weird thing is they must be listening because I can see their shadows on the other side.

That's amazing!! I've heard a few stories like this where the male becomes the "Uncle" of sorts and looks for the kittens, it is very sweet

Awwww how cute! Uncle Seldon is looking after the charges.

Stumpy does the same. She watches out for the foster kittens, lets them annoy her if she's allowed in their room, otherwise just lies by their door playing pawsies

He is my little baby. He brightens my life tenfold.
I never knew it was actually a thing male cats do. He is like the Uncle and just loves other cats. Rarely does he ever hiss.
He plays chase with the kittens as long as they want. Up and down the stairs they go. He even starts a new game with them.

Today Sachi was napping on my daughter's bed and the wind closed the door. Seldon went to the door and started talking. She woke up and ran to the door and started talking back. So I opened the door and they greeted each other affectionately.
I know it sounds corny but it brought tears to my eyes. He is such a sweetie and his kind soul touches me.

My dear Fred was like that. He loved all cats, and most everything else. He even helped a foster deliver her litter once. He would babysit for the neighbor's outdoor cat's kittens. She would bring him one, then they would each go get one until they were all in Fred's box on the porch. He would sit with them and play or clean them until momcat came back, then they would take them home. I have pics somewhere.
