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. : ) Doug Bashford wrote: 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! --Doug |

the mother and the kittens. That would be the right thing to do. Do the right thing Doug. : ) Yes, I agree. I doubt if your cats will harm the kittens and it is nice to provide them a safe haven but to feed them for awhile and then stop feeding them and shoo them away is cruel. They don't understand why you would quit feeding them. What are you thinking will happen to the kittens? They will stay where the food is so you will have to "shoo" them away, too. Take the mom and the kittens now to a shelter so that someone kinder than you will help them. Otherwise, they will keep breeding and get run over and have all sorts of bad things happen to them. If you have your own cats, you must realize what nice animals they are and how they can't help it if they're stray cats.
