Are you a cat lover? I think you should find a nice home or shelter for
the mother and the kittens. That would be the right thing to do. Do
the right thing Doug. : )

Hi!

A stray cat has dropped a litter in my
backyard. They've been there off and on
for over a week. Their eyes have been open
for a few days. I figure they were born
around the 4th. I feed and water them.

I wonder if my 2 cats will kill them?
They are female, long spayed, one about
2-y-o, the other about nine.

So far, they respect kitten's nest and
show no aggression unless Mom tries to enter
the house. They are mostly indoor cats but
often have outside access. No killer training,
can't kill a bug. In particular I wonder about
when the kittens will leave their nest to play,
or when Mom is not home.

If there their might be problems, I'll shoo
away the Mom/kittens and let them deal with
the outside not-so-wild. Mom took here her kittens
away once before for a few days when I was watering.
I have no intention of keeping mom around after
the kittens are gone. 2's enough.

Thanks!
