On March 25, 2001, a outdoor cat I had been feeding since early Jan. had two kittens. She would still show up a couple times a day to be fed then leave again. Approx April 2 or 3 she apparently went into heat again, because she only showed up to be fed twice from April 3 to April 7 and both times she had to run a guantlet of male cats trying to get to her.
Monday evening she was sitting outside our door and i went to feed her but she walked into the grass deside the house and laid down. This being unusual I walked over near her and realized she was laying beside a kitten. She got up and left. I thought the kitten was sleeping but soon realized it was dead. It looked perfect. No appraent sign of injury, obvioulsy had grwn and gained weight. I buried the kitten in the back yard. This morning in front of the door was the other kitten looking like the first, dead but looking perfect. The mother sat there till I picked it up, then left. I buried it bedise its botther/sister.
Why did the mother bring them to me?
