I shared this video in another thread, but think it should go here.
The stray - Gray, fathered two kittens by this Feral queen.

I was able to trap them and get them altered in Mid-February 2009.

In April she was still nursing the kittens - as this video shows, and the daddy was helping with the care of the kittens.

This video proves at least two things (1) Queens still are able to nurse their kittens at least two months after she is spayed, and (2) toms don't necessarily harm kittens and probably are a part of the family group (this one, at least). Gray has not harmed the kittens since they were born - even before he was neutered.

In the video, Gray discovers that I was there, so I slowing returned the blinds back to cover the window. (Didn't want to interrupt their family time.
)

Also, in the video, the kitten nursing is a replica of Gray, so we named him Gray, Jr., the little female is in the upper part of the video by the mommy's head - all four cuddled together in the bedding I prepared for them.
