My nephews cats had 5 kittens (guessing aprox 10 days old??? They are just beginning to open their eyes)
To make a long story short, left in a shed with a heat light for warmth, and when the momma cat was away from the kittens, another cat climbed in and was found sleeping with the kittens this AM...and now that the kittens smell different Mom won`t have anything to do with them.Is there any way to get her to nurse and accept her babies back?
Urgent info is needed for these wee ones.
Thanks! Linda

If you can confine mom and babies in your house in a room together, she should take them back. I would do that and wipe mom down and then wipe all the babies with her scent. Hopefully she will take them back.
