Kitten moving question for Feral cat
4 weeks ago a co-worker found a momma cat and 4 kittens [eyes unopened]
in an abandon gas pump used for parts. She moved them once we knew they were there, but I started feeding her and she is waiting on breakfast at 8 and supper at 5 everyday and I better not be late or I miss her. She has gotten to the point of staying close when I put the food out, but we still don't know what she has done with the kittens. When they are 6 weeks old they will all be trapped and she will be returned after a brief surgery and the kittens adopted. I know nothing about cats. Will she bring the kittens to the food when they are big enough? Her name is Ethyl- short for Ethynal and she has a blog with her story and photos at http://ethylferalcat.blogspot.com/ I can't find any information or at least I am not looking in the right place and would love any help on this.

Kitten moving question for Feral cat
hopefully the mommie is getting enough food to produce sufficient milk for
her kittens - is there any way you could cautiously follow the mother cat after eating? She will hopefully lead you to the kittens. If so I recommend calling the humane society of your area so the kittens can be tpicked up aken care of in a safe environment. If you don't want to keep the cats yourself then I think that's the best way. Sadly you should prepare for the chance that the kittens were abandoned by their mother. lsnider59 wrote: 4 weeks ago a co-worker found a momma cat and 4 kittens [eyes unopened] in an abandon gas pump used for parts.

Kitten moving question for Feral cat
One Sat. morning I did sit and watch to see what she did after eating
she went down and disaapeared in a patch of wooded area. I didn't follow in the woods, never know what is under foot and I was alone. The Cat Rescue place is going to trap all when the kittens are old enough which is there only policy, they didn't have a place for her and the babies the day they were found. I hate to tell the others [especially the one that found them] she may have abandoned them. Wouldn't they be able to walk yet and come out to the food? kitkat via CatKB.com wrote: hopefully the mommie is getting enough food to produce sufficient milk for her kittens - is there any way you could cautiously follow the mother cat after eating?

I think it was about 3 weeks old when our kittens started venturing out
of the nest, but that was inside the house. I hope the rescue society can find the kittens and tame them. Rhonda lsnider59 wrote: I hate to tell the others [especially the one that found them] she may have abandoned them. Wouldn't they be able to walk yet and come out to the food? |
