Baby goat, two days old, jumps up to the kittens

Hector is two days old, and his mother had no other kids. So when he finds three orange kittens in the wooden shelter, he decides they are his friends. They haven't decided anything. more

Hector is a Nigerian Dwarf goat, a small kind to begin with, and at two days he is tiny. With no brothers or sisters to butt heads with, he has been looking for company. Now he stands by the wooden wall with his head tilted, sizing things up.

An only kid, Hector goes looking for someone to play with.

The barn cat has just had her kittens, and all three are orange, close to Hector's own color. They sit up on a bale of wood shavings, a good jump above the floor, and watch him the way cats watch anything that is not a cat.

Hector wants to be up there. His tail flicks the whole time, and he jumps. The bale is a long way up for legs that are two days old, and he doesn't make it. One of the cats sits up straight and watches from above.

One cat sits up tall and keeps an eye on Hector's tries.

He tries again, and then again. The kittens offer no help at all. Cats aren't known for cheering anyone on.

Between tries he is back on the concrete with his nose down, as if he might find a set of stairs he missed. There are none, so it's back to jumping.

Between jumps, Hector is back on the concrete with his nose down.

Then the kittens get up and leave, all of them, after all his hard work to reach them. It stings a little. Hector just wants to be with the other babies, and he does not care that they're cats.

He doesn't quit. In the end he makes it up onto the bale and sits with the kittens, right where he has wanted to be all along. It's very hard not to cheer.

Hector is two days old, and his mother had no other kids.

His mother stays close. When a cat pushes the door toward her baby, she is on it at once and sends the cat packing. There's no talking and no music, only the small sounds of a barn, and that turns out to be plenty.
