My queen (a pregnant feral cat I adopted) had a litter of six kittens

 My queen (a pregnant feral cat I adopted) had a litter of six kittens. One male kitten began reaching out his paw to rub my cheek every time I passed near him from the time his eyes first opened and could see at around 2 weeks old. I hadn’t planned on keeping any kittens after my queen gave birth. In fact, I had already lined up close friends/family to adopt a kitten after they were weaned off and ready for vaccinations. I always intended to keep my queen and get her vaccinated and spayed a month after weaning her first and only litter, but he clearly chose me from a very young age and has never wavered from this behavior toward me. He is now 2–1/2 years old and is the most gentle and loving cat I have ever had the privilege and honor to know and receive such devotion. He has never been traumatized, and he still has his mother plus me. It is just us 3 living our lives in a quiet household in a quiet village very content and secure. It keeps my sanity in the midst of a seemingly never-ending pandemic and very challenging times when he gently massages my neck using only the pads of his paws, claws never touching my skin. His eyes are in Zen mode as he purrs and kneads in pure blissful contentment of mutual grooming and healing.
