We've had a number of stray/neighborhood/feral cats that enjoy the shade under our deck, the kitty condo on the deck and the food and water we started putting out. Recently, just one cat has been hanging around. We thought it was a male and probably about 8 months old. Imagine our surprise when we found 5 kittens underneath the cover of our outdoor sofa. I'd say they're about 3 weeks old. Their eyes are still blue, they can wobbly walk and their ears aren't flat. We have them in a cardboard box with bedding. I want to know how often the mom should be feeding them? We're giving them plenty of privacy but I'm not sure they're getting enough nourishment. Mom is still very skittish but I would like to give her some flea protection to pass along to the kittens. Also, what kind of food should mom be eating? At what point can I can take the entire brood in to be vet checke and in the case of the mom, spayed? Thanks for any advice
