Ill try and be brief...last Dec. a cat came into my front yard while I was outside on the phone and she never left. She's young still, and she's been super friendly and sweet from the get go. Well, before I could save enough money to have her fixed, she wound up pregnant. Almost 2 weeks ago she has the kittens in the garage. She's been attentive to them (we cant keep them and her in the house...we have 3 big dogs). She had 6, but one died 2 days later, so I showed him to her, then buried him. Her kittens had just begun to open their eyes and were gaining weight and looking very good.
Now, the problem. Last night when I checked on them and her, the daddy cat was in our driveway. First time Ive seen him since she had the kittens. There were in the same spot this morning, my roomate also saw them this morning (8-9 am, around there)...when I got home from work about an hour ago, Sally came out of the garage to see me, I fed her and went to check on the kittens...and they are gone! I am not happy and I am freaking out. I've been watching Sally...once she went over the fence to the neighbors backyard. I watched her go to a pile of wood and old garden pots. I drove over to see if I could talk to them, and maybe get them, if that's where she moved them to. They werent home. I have to wait until they get home and go back over there. Sally is now back in our garage, just lying around. She isn't acting sad, or stressed out or given me any indication something is wrong, or that her kittens are dead. I scoured the yard and the garage, I've looked everywhere I can think of and I cannot find them, nor did I find any dead ones.
Would she move them because of the daddy cat creeping around again? Could he have taken them from her, maybe killed them? I don't know. I don't know what to do. They are only 2 weeks old. Would she have moved them to the neighbors yard? Why would she move them so far from our house? What should I do? I need help on this. The last thing me and my husband want is a ton of stray cats running around the cul-de-sac or god forbid, the daddy cat trying to mate with his daughters. Please, someone help!!!
