I am sure our situation is familiar to many of you, but it is new to us, and a little daunting.
We have a 13-year old. On the coldest day of winter, we brought in a stray, who has produced five gorgeous kittens.(Is there such a thing as a non-gorgeous kitten??
The kittens are now nine weeks old. We have decided that we can't part with them. We love them to pieces!
This means a household of seven cats. We are in our sixties. Can this situation be sensibly managed in order that the cats enjoy a good life, and our home remains a pleasant place to be, or are we being selfish?
The thirteen-year-old is not accepting the new arrivals. I am able to keep her in her own space at the moment.
I need advice on keeping the house clean, also feeding multiple cats, finding a way for the older cat to be integrated into the new "family" and anything else I should know.
I will be very grateful for help.
