Thanks.  I have someone coming over this evening with 2, 3 week old kittens she's fostering.  They won't latch on to the foster mom cat they're using so we're going to see if they'll latch on to mine.  I made the mistake of adopting out all three of her kittens at the same time on Sunday, and apparently that didn't give her milk a chance to dry up slowly.  She's walking around wailing.  When I cut up some turkey for her earlier she methodically carried all the pieces to the bedroom where her kittens were, and just stood there calling them.  I didn't anticipate this reaction.  But she's had 9 litters in the last 4 years, 3 in the last 15 months, so her body is primed for motherhood, I'm afraid.  She's an excellent mom; I just wish I could have adopted her out with one of her kittens.
