Thanks Sandie. What is feral? I have let mom outside to get fresh air and did not realize that could pose a threat to the babies. Now I am worried. I will not do that anymore but because I have should I be concerned? When she goes outside she stays on the porch and is only out there for 20...
My cat gave birth recently (2 1/2 weeks ago)and I have a few questions regarding the kittens.
1) When do they start eating kitten food?
2) When is it ok to start weening them from the mother?
3) Should they be using a litter box yet? ( I have seen no evidence that they are even using the...
Hey Sun~
My cat recently delivered and one sign that she gave me was she could not make up her mind if she wanted to go out or stay in. She would go outside for a little while and then she would get in her "safe" place and then go back outside. It almost seemed similiar to a pregnant...

has a dog who does not like cats at all. My fiance is the one who has the
problem with her being inside. He dos not approve of the idea, I can
understand where he is coming from but I wish he could be a little more...
