Hi everybody! Thank you for all of your help with the situation I am in. Mom cat is doing well. Her four babies look nice and healthy. Today we had a tiny problem with one baby that had apparently fallen out of the nest box. I had to get to him without mom taking my arm off! I successfully got him back in the box with mom and the others then held my breath hoping that mom was not going to reject him now that I had touched him. She wasn't too happy and smelled him for awhile but luckily he settled down with brothers and sisters and she didn't do anything to him. For a minute there I thought she might kick him out. Hopefully everything will be okay. I have noticed mom cat taking some breaks from the babies. She has been spending some time by herself. I was a bit worried that she might be rejecting them. I have only seen her a few times away from the kittens to eat or poop and she runs right back to them when she is done. So this worried me when she wasn't laying with them in the box like she usually does. Luckily I have had lots of supportive people to talk with and they are sure she is probably just needing a break. I'm totally new to cats and there behaviors....especially wild ones! I'm sure I will learn as I go! Thanks everybody!
