New life in the apartment stairwell

It is not unusual to have cats in the apartment corridors.  It is not unusual to hear hissing and growling either.   But I noticed a box on the landing, didn't think much of it until Rick said we had a litter of kittens.

There eyes not yet opened, I think 6 but I am not going to touch or interfer with a new mother's charges.   Nor do I wish stray cat fleas to be transferred.

I did give the mom a couple of slices of soft lunch meat and a bowl of milk.   Nursing mothers need a little extra care.   It's tough to be a stray in Ukraine I would think.  I see a few dogs around the doorways to the store, more on leashes with sweaters and today one with booties on all four paws.  I have no idea how cats manage, I am sure their lifespan is short.  Nevertheless, I feel like a protective grandmother.   No I don't want one in our apartment as a pet.
