Hi, my cat had 6 kittens and my cat has a sister, I dont know if the sister will get on with the kittens. I was going to introduce her to them at 4 weeks but I dont know if she will like them.keira (sister) did get into my room and saw the kittens with nala and started growling is this normal. Nala and Keira are so close and we are hoping to keep one of the boy kittens, only if keira is ok with it

They need to be kept separate for now. Follow mom's lead. It's a big change.

Probably when they start venturing outside the nest. Follow mom's lead.

I agree with follow mom's lead... but I tend to think a sooner introduction might work rather than waiting until mom is stressed out about the kittens getting into everything.  Especially since Nala and Kiera are close.  How long has Nala been kept in your room?  Were Nala and Kiera hanging out the day before birth?  Do Nala nad Kiera still eat together and see each other now?

Ok thank you, im just do worried as want to keep one as the sisters had a mum, I saw them being born ,when the mum died I was heart broken there will never be a cat like her. Thats why I would love 1 more cat in the house. Do you keira and the kittens will get along after a few weeks when they are introduced ?

Hi , keira went into my room, I grabbed her then soon as she saw the kittens she growls and then ran out of my hands and instead of running to the kittens she ran away from them out of my room, is she scared of them or is this normal ?

You may want to let her sniff around the room under your supervision. She is growling because the kittens are unfamiliar intruders who she does not know. Cats growl at intruders.
