My female cat (shes part stray, part ours, if that makes sense) has just had a litter of 5 kittens, 5 days ago. The kittens seem to be doing really well, except that one is smaller than the others, and also they seem to fight a lot.
Today, she started moving the kittens into the cupboard under our fishtank, she moves half of them there and leaves 1 or 2 in the old nursery area - is this ok for the kittens? At one point she had left 2 of the kittens in the cupboard and gone back to nurse the others, but one of the 2 managed to crawl out and was scrabbling around on the hard floor the poor love!
I really want to intercede and lock her in the old nursery room where its safer and the kittens are in an enclosed, warm and large area. Will she react badly to this? I'm really scared that she'll eat the smallest kitten, after reading some of the threads on here!
