All these fur-kids are rescue ferals, The oldest tom we rescued from a queen when all the other litter mates were killed by a dog. The mom, whom we have been feeding for a yr. at least, through her first heat and she became preg. in her second heat. When she got ready for the babies I let her get in my truck through a sliding glass window and have the kittens.
That was a little background on the 4 cats we have now, plus a tom outside that is the daddy to my 3 tom kittens. I found a home for the mom and 3 sisters, after they were weaned. Is it possible for the 4 tom cats to get along outside of a occasional skirmish? The 3 kittens are in their special room with litter boxes and beds and gob of toys. We let them out twice a day when my wife and I are in the living room with them to make sure the older tom doesn't get to aggressive as he can be that way. It will be quiet for a few minutes and then a blood curdling scream. It's big tom on top of one of the little toms. A little squirt of water and they are on their way. It is getting better when the are out together. Now about us, I'm 72 my wife is 70. We are both retired and on SS. We don't have a lot of extra money by the end of the month. Cat food both dry and wet plus litter plus wear and tear on both of us we are getting worn slick. I'm a retired oilfield welder with arthritis in every place you can have it. My wife has 2 bad knees and wrangling 3 little ones are hard on both of us. They are so sweet and eat well and we are getting more attached every day as we are animal people, we also have a 13 yr. old basset hound that was a rescue too. Last fall we had 2 baby skunks living under the house next door. It's a rental with on and off again tenants. So we fed them until they were old enough and they left. Their mom never came back for unknown reasons. We live right in the middle of town so it's weird although, there are plenty of plenty of eating places in both directions of our house with plenty of trash bins to go through. We have fed birds and every stray running around our town of 13,000 + people show up on our front porch knowing that we are softies. I'm sorry to be such a blabber mouth but this about sums up things for now. Any help is welcomed.
Thanks Kirk#73 in the TX panhandle!!
