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.

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