Abandoned kittens

If they are eating on their own it is best to keep them away from the younger kittens until they are doing the same. The Queen is protecting her young which is instinct, and though she probably won't kill the resident kittens, she might do them some harm. You want to keep mom's stress level low or you may find out she will harm her own litter.

Any time you bring a new cat or kittens into your home, you need to keep them separated from the other resident cats. They should all go to the vet first and be tested for all the bad stuff and then if they check out healthy, bring them inside and put them into a room by themselves. You have to give everyone a chance to adjust to new scents and activity and that can take anywhere from two weeks to a couple of months.

Cats spray for a lot of different reasons- they spray because they are marking their territory, they could be stressed, they could be sick. Their might be a female in heat nearby and he will spray to tell the other tomcats to back off or he may spray to tell the female where he is located.

well   i do have a black female   not neutured yet     as i did a few cats and kittens outside    these will not make kittens again and some rehomed in hte last few months    but i never neutured her as yet  see the spraying is fine to me  as long as i know where they spray    and the cats and ktitens had great fun   using hte things they now spray on.     so two more cats     the church cats i can not do as the men keeps feeding and we can not go into his garden.  even though he gives permission    i do not let a trap overnight in his garden   htis was last januari   in the snow and freezing conditions he wanted me to set hte trap overnight   he is alwyas on the go    so he does not like people ringing hte bell   and in the church a crazy woman comes out throwing catfood around hte trap    boycotting    she has a cat too    and loves bringing kittens to the vet for rehoming   and the sick kittens to be put to sleep     neuturing the cat    oh no     but hte male cat is getting old   and medical care nobody does      so no hope   as if i take a ktiten    and rehome   i neuture vaccinate and bloodtest the ktiten    so each kitten   150 and up    as some have bad teeth   no good food      so for that money???i can neuture a few male cats    a male cat is 14 euro on a voucher   and even though i hate to think the cats in the church are getting kittens again and have already     there are cats all over kilkenny     and for the 150 up    i can do lots of male cats   as i only keep bringing kittens to the vet     which i love    i rehome them    but the money caters for a lot of female cats elsewhere who also get ktitens    so i ahve made a decision     no female cats in hte church i will neture anymore   the mommy cat   has a female ktiten   from last year   i could not get her off the men   and a boy kitten    htere is a new female tabby cat young    is owned   now having kittens i think     and the old lady female    they will keep getting kittens    so i took two abandoned kittens from mommy from my husbands area      they also need rehoming and nobody will feed in this area    so i save money that way    on chicken mackerel and tuna    so mluch money on food     and in this area where my husband lioves   nobody feeds and i have a cat in a second   no cats now    the fathercat    82  for neuturing and bloodtesting to see if kittens were healthy   see    male cats all over hte place   so if htat street likes kittens   let them have it   as if i do different streets    no kittens born in those streets     for 4 kittens i pay over 700   to the vet   and mommy is still not neutured   and the men from the apartments   needs to be teached a lesson   and the lady with the chickens   i have to keep cats in for chickens   she is new in the streeet and does not like cats in her garden renting     so let them hafve kittens     they say i owe all the cats in the street   nutters    i came rfor noth to have ktitens    invading the gardens    well next year there be many as two litters are now black   daddy was black and knocked down     so these ktitens will mulktiply and next year they know why i neture      so patethic   mommy is 22 euro    ktitens lsat year   700 asnd up    and now two new litters       there is a tabby and a white still on our side walking    i will neturue those     but htechurch   will alwyas havae kittens   unless the males   2 from the church   come my direction and there is a black female too from a men   who has the sick cat    see  i love to neuture cats     so now i have decided    to do cats in different streets   as they make kitens too   so if the street loves ktitens    let them have them
