In July 2009, we brought our newest addition to Pouncival Bengals home, our future breeding girl named Owlsdene Trinity Blue. Trinity is a beautiful, sleek snow marble girl with very pretty blue eyes and only three paws. She was introduced to our home right around the time that Buttercup delivered her July litter. Poor Trinity came to the house to a very pregnant, very moody Buttercup. 

Fast forward the clock a month later, and now there are 6 new kittens beginning to explore the house. At first, Trinity had no idea how to respond to these little creatures. She hissed at them because they smelled like Buttercup, and ran away when they overcame their fear and tried to sniff her out. Trinity was still scared of Buttercup, and Trinity was scared of the babies, but the kittens didn't seem to notice. During that period, Trinity and Wesley formed a friendship. Soon those two were often seen chasing each other through the house, especially up and down the stairs. Some of the kittens watched Trinity and Wesley at play and wanted to join in. It took what seemed forever for Trinity to let down her guard, but one day, there was some rough and tumble, playful yet letting them know who was higher on the chain of command than they were, interactions between Trinity and several kittens.

Buttercup around this time began calling again. She still nursed her babies, but at times was too busy pacing the house and peering out the windows. The kittens were so confused by Buttercup's on and off again nursing so we decided it was time for them to be weaned! During this time, Trinity stepped in and began being their "surrogate" mother. When Buttercup was out of the picture, she cleaned them, cuddled them. The kittens were so forlorn wanting their mummy, they began trying to nurse on Trinity! Strangely enough, she let them!

One day we found all 6 kittens, attempting to nurse frantically on Trinity. She stretched out across a dining chair and let them nurse on her for almost an hour. Unbelievable!! They fell asleep while attached to Trinity. We were all astounded and had to take pictures. Trinity and the kittens formed a very close bond, and still to this day, they can all be found napping together, or occasionally attempting to nurse Trinity. She will be such a good mother soon! She loves on them, cleans them,Trinity even backs off on eating her food when several kittens are pushing to eat out of the same bowl, so they can have it. We know she will be a spectacular mum, and are very happy to have her as part of the Pouncival family.
