My family and I adopted a stray when we were on vacation in Manitoba. Only to find out when we got home that she was going to have kitten. She was residing in the milk room in the barn. But after the kittens arrived I brought them here to the house so they could be house trained before going to their new homes.
Now that you know the history here's my questions. Its actually been a while since I've been around a Momma and kittens so I can't remember how things go. They're about 7 weeks old now and she's sometimes starting to get snarly at them when they try to nurse her. Is that her starting to ween them? They are eating hard food now.
And is it okay for her to have catnip with her still nursing... and cat the kittens have it? My own cats have catnip toys and I'm wondering if I should be putting them away for now.
THANK YOU!!! :cat:
