I came home from a nice evening out with my boyfriend to be told by his mother that sometime between 6pm and 9pm one of our youngest kittens has vanished. The mother decided to move them out of the box that they were inside and now one kitten is just gone.
We caged all the other litters and their mothers, did TWO headcounts to be sure. We checked under everything, both floors of the house. Checked outside. no sign of him. My thoughts are this either:
A) Mom moved him somewhere we just haven't looked.
B) Another mother cat moved him
C) One of the dogs took him
C would be rare, the dogs usually stay away from the kittens. Specially the smaller ones after they got tiny claws in their noses. PLUS the dogs don't usually enter the cat room.
I'm hoping that the mom cat will find her baby and bring him back to the litter, we're keeping all the other litters locked up for tonight. to be honest though it's been-- 5 hours, and no screaming. Makes me feel very bleak.
