I had a mom and 2 kittens living under my deck. They are feral (the mom was a feral born a few years ago in the neighborhood). The kittens are about 5-6 weeks, eating wet food, running, playing, etc.
Tonight I put food in a cage that I had, and when they walked in, I closed it, and put a blanket on it. My plan is to capture the mother too, so I can get her spayed, but for now, I wanted to start socializing the kittens. Plus the one has an URI, so I want to get it into the vet for some antibiotics.
My question is... should I leave the cage outside so the mom can see them? Or should I take the kittens into my garage and keep them separate? I'm afraid if I leave them outside, they may cry and upset the mom, but I'm not sure.
Any ideas would be great. THanks.
