WHERE is she moving the kittens?  Into the others nest?  This may be OK.  In the wild sisters or friendly females do often pool their litters, and jointly take care and defence.

Or moving to some other place, but which is still OK?   Obey the mom....

If neither of these, and thisis a real problem, you may perhaps be forced to have her in her own room with kittens and all....

Please continue to report.

Here is a link to a recent thread where the mom's are co raising their babies.  You can see how @littlebooty   handled it.

It's okay if they are together and nurse each other's babies. Just make sure one mom is not always nursing all of the babies. That would be a strain on her.

Do you plan to spay the sisters after the kittens wean? I would not let the moms outside until they are spayed as they can get pregnant again even while nursing.

I had to just observe mine it is all trial and error and lots of worry and stress!

Thankfully all worked out well Tabatha may not agree as 75% of the time she feeds them while thomas chills!! often she would feed her kittens then hope over into the other box and feed thomas's! Sometimes thomas can be seen feeding 2 or 3!!

thomas's babies are now 5 weeks and 4 out of the 5 are happily eating solids now which takes a bit of the preasure off!!!

Ill post a pic for to to see but im sure they will work it out
