Thus far we have had three kittens....this is from a stray that my mother captured to have fixed and she was pregnant by then...She opted to have them in my mothers garage....and a racoon was being a bit nosey so we moved them to my house.....Where I have her in a box actually it was a beand new covered litter box that had never been used that she seemed to feel more comfortable in......clean towels, clean litter box (even though it is a cardboard one until I go get another one tonight!) and kitten food dry and canned for mom......My cat is beyond frustrated with me as he is being separated until I can determine her state of health and they get older but my question is how do I know if and when she had all her kittens? Moving her I know was not the best but the racoon was being relentless and she was tired...so I got rid of him with a broom while he hissed at me and moved her.......I did not put a heating pad in with her because she is keeping them warm but should I? Any advice would be wonderful.......please?
