I don't know why I waited to comment on this, but it has begun to bother. I seem to be a stickler for facts. There is a conversation in the book that alludes to the myth of the founding of Rome and Kitty says she's familiar with it, and for a brief moment thinks she could have a baby of her own.
Here's the problem : Romulus and Remus were not the off spring of the she wolf.
A King is overthrown by his brother and he forces his niece to become a Vestal Virgin and serve in the temple so she will not have children for the Uncle is afraid of being over thrown. The Princess is visited by Mars or Aries, in Greek, and conceives two twin boys, Romulus and Remus. The children are taken away and left in a trough to drown in the river. They survive and are adopted by a she-wolf who suckles them. That is the start of this myth of the Founding of Rome.
