When a barn cat gave birth to four kittens, Blackie decided she wanted to adopt them as her babies, probably much to the chagrin of the mother cat. One by one, Blackie took the kittens to a basket by the farmhouse door where she actually nursed them as a real mother would. Miraculously, she was able to provide milk for the kittens. This heartwarming true story will delight children of all ages, and for adults it will bring back memories of a bygone time when summer days were spent enjoying simple pleasures of discovery and creative play.
