5. I did the same thing with them as I did with Arthur and his littermates

When I saw mom was gone, I'd go to the shelter to check on them. Once their ears unfolded and their eyes opened I'd talk to them and attract their attention so they'd look at me. When they were about 2 weeks old and becoming active, I'd pick them up, just for a few seconds, and give them some gentle scritches. They knew from a very early age that I wasn't a threat.

Just like Arthur, Tudor would always climb over his siblings and come to the shelter opening when he'd hear my voice.
