Hi Bella, thanks for asking! Greta is allowing me to pet her (though not all the time), and she will come rushing to the door to be let out for a 10 minute break without the kittens and she sits in the other bedroom for a little bit while one of my cats, Cookie sits near her. I will be close...
Greta starting using the litter box last week (two days before the kittens were born). It was in front of me, and she stepped into the litter box and then looked back at me to see if I minded her peeing on my box of dirt, LOL. After that, there were no more pee pad hits (though I still left...
Wally is living the good life and completely fitting in with the household. He's currently playing with a today (see picture). Mama and babies are doing well, I step inside enough to give mama her food and change out litter box and water. She hisses but it is a mild hiss every time. I have...
I don't blame her one bit for chasing me out if she was in labor. I slid this morning's breakfast under the door but I worry about upsetting her when I need to go in to clean the litter box and change out the water bowl this afternoon.
We have newborn kittens! Four that I count, and were born last night starting around 8 pm. I went in at 7 pm to feed her and she was extra hissy, insisting that I don't come in the room. And she's usually okay for me to come in with food. I've been watching from the nanny-cam (she seems to...
If mama cat can come and go, the kittens should be able to as well. Your fenced in back yard sounds as safe as any place outside for kittens. It would be great if a neighbor could leave food out regularly (once or twice a day) for mama. But really it can be a rough life out there for feral...
Update: Wally just got his neuter surgery yesterday and he's adjusted completely to his new life. Mama (Greta) is definitely pregnant and she's got her very own bedroom and I've set up a couple of nest areas. She'd been hiding under the bed when I come in but yesterday I guess she decided I'm...
I am a fan of all Texas wildlife including bobcats, and I'm deeply saddened to see the recent development around me effectively eliminating their habitat. I have lived in the same home for 25 years now, and this is the first time I've seen a bobcat (let alone two) in my yard. But the bobcat...
Blue Buffalo Tastefuls Chicken Puree in a 3 ounce squeezable pouch -- I can squeeze a dollop on the end of my finger and offer it to my cat and it is the right consistency to not dribble off my hand in the process. The ingredients are chicken, broth, tapioca, vegetable oil & guar gum. It costs...
Hello! I recently found this forum and have spent hours reading the posts. I thought I’d share my story.
As of tomorrow, it will be two weeks that I was able to successfully trap Mama Kitty (aka Greta) and now-12-week old Wally. She is definitely feral rather than stray, and she had made a...
