Yes, it's the foster newbie with more questions.
As soon as I got mama home, she immediately stole her kittens from a soft-sided play yard and put them under the bed. Now they're over 3 weeks and I want to get them contained and used to having their bowls/ blankets/ litterbox in one area for when they start weaning and toileting.
She's an angel about letting me touch them, and even letting me take them from her. If I put them in the play yard, she jumps right out and then circles around, trying to get back in. If I unzip it, they all walk out or she takes them. I don't want her getting upset about the separation, and I don't want her neglecting them. But I do want to get them used to that yard, even if it's only for an hour or two at a time. I'm hoping to start offering formula and slurry in about a week, with her feeding in between.
Is this a good plan? Can anyone give pointers? Thanks.
