He was gone for bout a week but he's back now!!

Glad he's back! Please get him neutered and keep him inside!

Sorry...forgot to do last weeks

So sweet. I love her coloring.

Sorry I keep forgetting to post on Wednesdays....but Symba is 4 months old today, yayyyyy!!! And he didn't want to get his picture taken-he just wanted to play!!

He looks so much bigger and fluffier!

Ok, so y'all might think that I'm like the WORST owner when I say this. Cece went missing but she would show up every other day, this hasn't been happening long maybe about a week that's it. She went outside and she didn't come back that night so I was like "I'll just bring her in in the morning" well she wasn't there. She came the next day and when I was going to go get her she was gone. We just have a lot of space for them to run around, that's why I can't find them I guess. This morning I saw her in my neighbors front yard and called her. She came in the garage and I gave her some of her favorite food so she would quit 'exploring'. I took Symba in the garage and she hissed at him, I thought you know she's probably hissing at me, no worries. But I decided to make sure. Don't ever do that, please!! She tried to hit Symba, but my reflexes kicked in, reallllll quick, and I grabbed Symba and popped Cece on the head, not hard just enough to let her know that she doesn't need to do that. Why do y'all think she tried to hit Symba, it's worrying me??

Did you get her spayed? If not, when she's going to have a new litter, she'll chase off the last batch of kittens. It's just nature. If you don't want that to happen, you'll need to have them all spayed/neutered.

Agreed. They all need to be spayed and neutered as soon as possible, or you're going to have kittens from mom and son too. It's also very soon for mom to have kittens again - it takes a real toll on her body. Are you letting the four month old outside? That's not safe either.

Hitting your cats to get them to get along is going to backfire because they are going to associate each other with bad things, like being hit by their owner. They will never associate it with whatever they were doing when you hit them. You can remove the cats from each other and do gradual reintroductions in order to be productive.

Unfixed cats will also wander further and more often, looking for a mate. They are at risk for sexually transmitted diseases and dangerous fighting as they defend their territory.

Ok, I don't let Symba out unless I take him with me, holding him(4 month old)and i didn't know that's what cats do when you hit them I won't do that any more and thanks for the advice

Is there a reason you don't want to spay and neuter?  If it's cost, we would be more than happy to help you find low-cost clinics near you.

You need to spay your mama cat asap, or she will be pregnant again! Please allow us to help you find low-cost clinics in your area.

It's not the cost, my mom won't take her...she even says that's we need to get her fixed but she doesn't ever do it and I can't drive yet, and how do I "reintroduce" them?

My mom keeps making excuses it used to be stuff like "I need to wait till she quits nursing" but now it's like "I know we do" but it just never happens. I mean I love my mom and all and I tell her every day almost like "we need to get Cece fixed mom" "we need to get Cece fixed so she'll quit hissing at Symba mom" and she's like "I know" "I know" "I know" and in the way to cheer there is this ad and it says "get your female cat fixed for only $20" and I'm like "mom, we HAVE to get Cece fixed" and she's like "I know I just don't have time right now I'm taking you to cheer". I mean it might be the cost but I don't think $20 is that bad, I could pay for that

$20 is a great cost.  Would it be possible to make an appointment at a time that works for your mom to drive?  Symba should go at the same time.  Maybe if you take initiative and it's at a concrete time it will be more likely to happen.

Otherwise, you are about to get mother-son babies, and that's not a healthy choice.

How do I reintroduce them? Like I mean I tried to go up to Cece and I rubbed her for a minute or two, then I got Symba showed him to her, then rubbed her once and put Symba on the ground-not to close but not to far- but she still hissed so I guess that's not how you do it? And thanks for such a quick response

So, I don't know that reintroducing will help.  I think there are hormonal problems going on.  Mom needs to be spayed asap.  Until she is spayed, she needs to be 100% kept inside.  Symba also needs to be 100% inside until he is neutered.  Can they be kept in separate areas of the house?  They are just not going to get along until that is resolved.

Ok, I can ask my mom if she can take Cece when she gets off work because I have cheer tonight but my dads taking me so my mom might be able to. What age can kittens(Symba) get neutered? And how old are cats when they are able to reproduce?
