Of course, it's a totally inappropriate food for ducklings, who were never 
meant to breastfeed and for whom there is no species-specific milk - but a 
cute story.

Loved this!  My first thought, though, was how the duck's firm beak would 
have meant a painful latch no matter what.  The mother cat was thrilled with 
the whole experience, so never mind what this human thinks.  Maybe the beak 
is softer in a young duckling.
