Hi. I'm new to the cat forum and new to taking care of cats/kittens. My mom was real allergic to cats so we never really had any. Two that I know of but they were both killed. Anyway, I came home from work Monday and to my surprise a momma cat and three little kittens are in a building in my back yard. I have a pet yorkie who stays in the house so I didn't have any cat food so I opened a can of recently bought tuna and took it out to her with some milk. She ate as if she'd never ate before (the momma cat). Well, the next day I bought her some cat food and have been feeding her that with some milk each day but shes a mean ole gal and hisses at me whenever I get close to the building. Her kittens are furry (and cute a a button!) but they are still nursing from her. How could I tell how old they are? Today was a break through though, after my husband got home from work we went out there and brought her some food and milk. She hissed at us but never tried to attack and even let us hold two of the kittens that got close enough while she ate. Then after she ate she gathered her babies and went into the back of the building and let them nurse. Now they are sleeping.
I dont know much about cats but the mommy is always sleeping it seems and even when shes hissing at us its like she can't barely keep her eyes open. The kittens are playful, romping around and cute as can be.Anyway I just try to feed her so she can keep her kittens strong. I'd like to figure out how old the kittens are. Also, has anyone introduced a kitten to a 1 yr old small dog? I wonder how hard/easy that would be. Thanks for your time!
