caught the mother

This morning we caught the mother cat. She is now in the cage with her
kittens. They are now laying against their mother. The tiger kitten was purring
when we first put the mother in with them. Last night DH was petting
the kittens and this morning I was petting them. We think the mother was a pet
before , by the way she is acting.
Ann

Happy mom has her family back! and hopefully soon everyone will have
a nice home forever.

We use a have a heart trap. Someone told me to lay a sheet of newspaper
over the trip plate as a cat will step over it. I used moist and dry cat
food,and made a trail leading into the trap.
Yes, I do have a room to keep them in. Today the kittens aren't so clingy
with the mother.

Ann,
Congratulations.
I'm so glad it worked out so well so far.
I think you will have no trouble taming these kittens.
How old do you think they are?
You'll need a shallow litter box. The mother most likely will teach them
how to use it.

I'm not sure if LB taught her babies, but I never had any problems
once they were two big for theor initial nursing box and I started
confining them to the kitchen. I think Sammy was self taught. Even as
a teeny kitten she started supervising me in the scooping duties. She
used to climb into the box and dig around as soon as I picked up the
scoop.

The kittens are letting us pet them and are playing with a Mylar toy. They
used the litter box with out a problem.
