Ah…in childbirth, they call it “labor”, but that is just the beginning !! Somehow, I always thought animals had a climbing instinct. This is sweet. ☺

Years ago, I had the pleasure to watch my momma cat teach her kittens to run up a tree. It was both hilarious and heart-warming. Thanks for this David.

When a baby’s gripped by the nape like that, they naturally curl up and relax. So for that kit to figure out Mom wanted him to reach for the tree was genius.

The kit got the hang of the technique quickly. Parents often are the best teachers of their children.
