Hi I am currently fostering a Mother cat and her 3 babies. They are starting to wean so approximately 3-4 weeks old. The mother and babies came to us as a stray who was suspected of being feral. About 1 week ago.
I have noticed however that mum is VERY affectionate however. She is a good mum and so far only shows aggression when other cats are around or when someone touches her babies. I was able to hold her to take blood for an FIV/FELV test today.
I was wondering if her extreme affection (head bumps, purring, rubbing up against me) is odd for a feeding mother. Is it hormonal and once she is desexed should I expect/prepare for her to be less kind and loving?
