I have been checking out this message board for 3 or more weeks now and have gotten some good information already. Its good to find this resource. My hubby and I have 3 cats of my own, all spayed and nuetered, three dogs, spayed and nuetered and 4 birds, so our house is full.
I rescued a stray, pregnant kitty and I now have her and four kittens, we lost one. I just couldn't stand to let her haver her kittens outside, I found her where I work. Everything has been going relatively well, and Mia (my name for her) has been a pretty good kitty and is not really feral at all. I have homes for most of the kittens and maybe the mother cat, after she's spayed, etc.
For the most part Mia has been in the bedroom with her kittens who are 4 weeks old on Sunday, I have attempted to let her out with my other animals for very short periods. Before she had the kittens She went after one of my dogs, no injuries but it was really weird. Since she's had the kittens, she went after 2 more of our cats, no injuries, just a lot of scary noises. As I said she's hasn't been out with everyone very long and not all incidences were bad. Mia is a really sweet kitty to me and other people, she does seem grateful. Mia is not overprotective when I show off the kittens either, she just looks concerned.
Just wondering if anyone can help me figure this out, I want to get Mia a good home but I don't want her going after someone elses kitty and I think she might be best in a solo pet home, no one I know has zero pets. Could this be all related to her pregnancy or not??
I saw the recommendations for Feliway and I'm going to get some. Thanks for any help
