I trapped/neutered/released a mom and one of her kittens the other day with the help of the Humane Society. When I let them go, the mom bolted and the kitten chased after her. She had one other kitten which I did not capture, possibly two (originally there were three total, but I believe one was killed recently due to an unidentifiable furry lacquer on a street nearby). Today, the mom is on my patio, walking slowly, crossing into the neighbor's patio under the fence, crying.
She's obviously not in heat (could spaying cause similar symptoms temporarily?), and her kittens were old enough to be on their own, definitely. But I'm worried that something happened - the kitten hid somewhere he got stuck, or the other kitten that I didn't capture went missing and the mom still can't find it.
