Ok...so I have posted a little bit about the orphan kitten I am taking care of. There were two kittens to begin with but one died right away. They had belonged to one of my moms new barn cats that abandoned them. The original plan was that my mom would take one and I would take one. And she favored the one that died after the first day.
The kitten I have been caring for has been thriving! She is super adorable and I am in love. I feel like she belongs to me. The problem is now my mom thinks she wants her back.
I have 2 housecats. They are not siblings but they are both almost 3 years old. They are beautiful healthy well adjusted cats. Raven is 2 months older than Jack and she is a typical cats cat. Jack was an orphan when I got him also but he was 5 weeks old. He is very loving and sweet, but the more timid of the 2. They are both fixed (and they HAVE claws because I don't declaw). I also have 3 children, age almost 5, 6.5, and almost 8. They are used to living with the cats and they have left this kitten alone because I am very strict about this.
My mom has one housecat, also almost 3 years old. I don't know her cat as well but she seems well adjusted as well. My mom also has a young pomeranian, an aging spanial mix, a collie, and they are hoping to adopt a new farm dog because the family black lab died recently, They also have barncats. And my dad hates housecats, my mom is lucky that they have one.
So I do not want to hurt my mom, but I have been keeping this little one alive and have fallen in love with her and I want to keep her. My husband has agreed to it (but I won't ever have more than 3!!). What do I do and who should get to keep her?
