Just looking for some advice I have a kitten boy called Ocean Bleu who's 6month and his sister kitten who my neighbour has got out and got pregnant.. she's had her litter yesterday a litter of 4 kittens. I feel awful for her she's a really tiny kitty herself so must of been difficult.. Anyway she keeps carrying her kittens upstairs by her mouth and hiding them, obviously looking for a nice quiet place for them, she's feeding them brilliant but can't really be bothered with the kittens once she's fed them and hides them and goes down to her owner for extra cuddles. My neighbour keeps losing them round the house. She has a crate but the mother cat stands on babies and gets restless in there so she hasn't kept up with using it. I think it sounds very instinctive and normal to carry her babies abit rough as they would in the wild so I've told my neighbour don't over handle the kittens as mother needs to bond no matter how anxious you are watching it happen. I'm wondering have I given the right advice? I think mother kitty can sense my neighbours anxiety too which doesn't help as she never had a litter of kittens before. The worry is she's losing the kittens when the mother kitty is hiding them in drawers etc and that's a worry as she has a household of 3 kids who might accidently sit on them or squash them.
Any advice appreciated that I can pass on
