i need some advice asap...my 9 month year old female cat Jill, had her kittens (3 of them) about 16 hours ago. She was doing fine, but now she just sits outside my bedroom door and meows...for about 2 hours now. Her kittens are in the basement and i'm worried about them getting to cold...it's about 60 degrees down there....My mom says to just leave her alone, and that she wants me....I put her in the box with them once and she kinda growled at them. I have another female and male, but they will stay outside in the garage for now.(there used to being out all the time) Is my mom right? She totally freaked on me, about how she's not bottle feeding them etc...And second. My mom has a pyscho Jack Russell. He growls and barks at all us family members except my mom...he has bitten all of us, plus visitors many times. He can't get into the basement (afraid of the stairs?) but he still sits at the railing on the first floor and whine's looking down the stairs. I'm worried he's gonna hurt these kittens. He attacks our male cat, but he's small for his size as it is, and Guido (the cat) just swats him....any advice would be greatly appreciated. And if i do have to bottle feed the kittens when do i start?
