We have a farell cat in the neighborhood that my husband has taken a liking to. On Easter Sunday (6 wks old today) she had a litter of 5 kittens. (Yes, in hindsight I should of trapped her and had her spayed.) The kittens have done well, they are growing, playing and enjoy human contact. The problem that we are having is that Mom keeps moving the kittens further and further away. We want to find good homes for the kittens and are afraid that they are going to get lost. We've moved the kittens into the garage and locked mom out. They were fed canned cat food and tuna yesterday and I'm picking up dry kitten food today. I have three questions;
1) Is it too early to take them away from Mom?
2) Other than kitten food should we be also be feeding them kitten formula? They lap up water well and I doubt they would need to be bottle fed.
3) Are there any other problems for the kittens or Mom that I should be anticipating?
Thank you
