Ok, I hope everyone has seen the two topics about spaying Neta and Joy. In a couple of the photos one of her brothers appears. So this post is simply about León, the big brother.
León ( Spanish for lion) has always been courageous, and worthy of the name. Joy's brother was already facing and trying to defend the turf against adult toms at only three months of age! Now it is almost a daily ritual to see León going after the roosters on the neighbor's property. Dangerous, as the roosters are significantly bigger than him, and quite capable of self-defense, but for now León always sends them running away. At the same time, he has joined his sister Joy in taking care of the newest kittens, since the mother (Neta) has stopped mothering them.
Long story short: León gets his own post because he has already made his mark here. He defends the turf (hilarious to watch how he scared the bejeezus out of one dog who got too close), he is nothing if not ambitious as a hunter, but he still takes care of his little siblings (Neta's second pregnency).
Everybody is shocked to hear that he is only about nine months old, and the same age as his sister Joy. No one believes that he is still a kitten
Here's a shot of almost the whole family- Joy was elsewhere, but we have León, his brother Pinguinho, and the newest siblings. They are roughly five months behind León, Pinguinho, and Joy.
