Hi
My youngest cat (I have 5!) had kittens on Sunday morning. Just to mention - these were planned. I have ALWAYS had all my cats spayed/neutered as soon as they were old enough, but just once I wanted one to have kittens, as long as she was healthy. My vet was happy with that too.
Anyway, we have 4 beautiful babies, all different so suspecting there may be more than one father! (Tramp!)
Its now Day 3 and she is starting to leave the nest to feed herself and wander around a bit. Does anybody know how long I should keep her away from my other cats? They all go outside and although are all fully vaccinated, I wouldn't want them to potentially pass something to Mum Cat that she may in turn pass to the kittens. I have no intention of letting her outside for a good few weeks until she has finished nursing because I want her down the vets before she gets preggers again (for her sake). I just wondered when its 'safe' for her to interact with the other cats indoors.
Any ideas? Thanks.
