Also I put two dishes of wet food in one for Shelia in a high sided bowl and for the kittens I put the food in a little saucer plate. Shelia's been eating the kittens' dish first then will nibble from her bowl. What should I do about that? Or should I stop leaving food out for the kittens?
Update! I got to hold two kittens this morning. When I went to clean up the one side this morning and feed her breakfast. The whole family was on that side. When I came in two kittens went back towards the den and Shelia followed. I opened the cage and was able to hold two kittens and they were...
No I don't have another room. I have four little ones and the bathroom is the only room where I could give her privacy. Greyson the bravest of the kittens tried to approach me through the crate last night, but Shelia(the queen) came over was hovering over him and meowing at him. So he stopped...
Update. My husband and I tried to remove one crate with no success. If we tried to separate the two cages, she hiss and try to attack :(. These past couple of days I've been afraid to change the litter box and feed her because she's so unpredictable. I also noticed these past couple of days...
Update. Today while I was putting Shelia's litter box she tried to attack me out of no where. I eventually got her to get in the crate with the kittens by waiting it out to get her food in. I'm at a loss because we were making progress but overtime I think we are improving she goes back to...
Hi. I just wanted to give an update. She hasn't pooped outside the box anymore. So I think it was a one time thing. The kittens are getting really active and curious. Overtime I go to clean the litter box and put food in, the female will creep as close as she can and just watch me. Shelia is...
Hi. Today when we got home my husband went to check on Shelia and the babies. She moved all the babies into the box/den. He noticed she pooped outside the litter box. When I looked closer, I noticed it had a little blood in it and it was lighter in color that it normally is. I've attached a...
Update. I added the box to the cage wednesday night and I can tell she was in it because the towel was moved, but she hasn't moved to the other side. She will only eat and then go back to the other side. The kittens eyes are open and they're pretty active. She still hisses every now and again...
Yes I have both in 24/7. She won't eat the dry kitten food and will only eat wet food. I haven't tried to touch the kittens since we got them in crate to bring them in. I'm scared to get bit.
