Sharing Kittens???

[sirha]

Ok, Bonnie went in my room last night and saw the other cat and her two kittens under the dresser. I waited to see if I was going to have to be seperating them but instead she started cleaning the cat and her kittens!!! THEN she went in Hollys closet and got all 5 of her kittens and put them under the dresser with the other cat. And since then they have been sharing responsiblity of the kittens.

I don't know if I should laugh or be worried lol. When she brought her first kitten under the dresser I put it back, but she would not stop until she had them all under there. Both cats lay there facing eachother with 7 kittens between them. They actually seem happy this way. What do you guys think of this?!?

Sirha....do all the kittens seem healthy?? Normally I wouldn't recommend this arrangement because if one kitten gets sick..then it puts the kittens from the other mother at risk. I would definately keep an eye on the situation.

Yes they are all healthy, some are opening their eyes already, some escape from under the dresser lol. They are all around the same wieght, size etc. I just thought it was wierd, but everyone seems to like it.

Then I wouldn't move them....but you may want to have a plan in place for when all these kittens start crawling around.
