Alittle back ground...

Snowwhite had three babies on 4/8/2003 they are going to be seven weeks old this up coming tuesday. Hubby brough home two kittens from work that are 1 to 2 weeks older then snowwhites litter. After getting the kittens hubby brough home from work checked by a vet I put them in the room with snowwhite and her three babies.

I was just playing with them all and noticed that marble (kitten that is 8-9 weeks old and not snowwhites baby) was nursing! And then granet (marble's brother) and blizzy (snowwhites runt) started nursing too. She just flopped over and let them all nurse. Is this normal? They are all eating canned food, and marble and granet had not been nursing for atleast a week and half before I put them in with snowwhite.

They miss mom and have found a great replacement mom in Snowwhite. This is a security thing and "Mom" will wean when she feels the time is right.
