I usually let matters move at their own pace with the kitties, but this time I interfered (a bit). Aggie was resting peacefully in solitary splendor on her high perch, beyond (as of yet) the leaping abilities of Miss Madie Mitten Kitten. So I picked Madie up and added her to the homey vignette. Awww, so cutes! Snap, snap, pictures for posterity (and the insatiable maw of "The Blog"!)
Aggie looked a little misty eyed, as if seeing little Madie as "the kitten I'll never have." Feeling particularly motherly in the moment, Aggie proceeded to gently groom M3K as if she were her own flesh and fur.
Milliseconds later, Madie's on her back, using both paws to whack her erstwhile Mama upside the face and head! Aggie's bobbing and weaving, trying to get one last lick in---and failing! Time to terminate the experiment! As Aggie glared at me accusingly, I picked Madie up and put her out of paw's reach. Well ::sigh:: I tried.

Doesn't sound like a total loss to us! Grooming and playing is good! Sounds like you did the purrfect thing by supervising a little time together.
Just wanned ta let ya know... The PAWTY has started!
Looks like there was at least one moment of bliss...
Grooming and playing sounds like lots of fun to us! :)
MOL! Human intervention never works quite as expected!
If at first you don't succeed . . . .. !!! I guess you can't organise kitties! lol
Sounds like a wild time at that house.Poor Aggie, glad she was picked up and saved. Take care.
Oh Aggie darling. Sigh....
That both are so beautiful!
A scene all too common in our household since Tutu arrived. But we usually let her be so the adults can tell her what is acceptable and what's not. And they do...sometimes moving away, sometimes just raising their paw and sometimes they pounce on her and hold her down.
Aggie sounds to be very patient, we think it's okay to let them sort things out on their own, under supervision. :)
M3K looks like she has grown quite a bit Glad they had a little bloodless interaction.
Yes, at least you tried! :)
It sounds like it wasn't a total failure, though.
Aggie, we have one word of advice: Engulf.
They will get it sorted out, but the picture is perfect :)
Gosh, that sounds exactly how kittens react to their momma's cleaning them.. they try to play and wriggle and squirm! A good experiment! But yeah, short bursts are good, so removing her was probably a good idea too. Don't be afraid to try it again!
Spitty dear, Star also rubs her toys on her face, especially her butterfly toy! I'll try to get a video of her too!
next time they will sit together longer, you watch and see!
Now that is pretty funny as that is what happened with Kozmo and me!
Kisses

They look so sweet together.

Wow, great progress! A year and half later, and Sassy and Callie still won't sit that close!
Aggie Little Miss Mitten Kitten will settle down in time, and she's gonna love the head kisses.

Aw, so cute. They're gonna get along. He shouldn't worry.
just so you know..Mom and Dad are reading with care..they really really want to rescue another cat...but I am so totally scared...they don't wanna lose me! We have made such progress...but maybe I might enjoy another cat to chase????...sigh...hard choices...we are very happy as we are...but so many need help...
So M3K is the instigator! We knew it! You just can't trust a cute kitten.
