Hi,
I need advice. A couple of weeks ago we trapped mama and her 3 kittens which were about 6 weeks old. We had mama spayed and we are trying to tame her as well as the kittens. We have separated mama from her kittens which are about 3 months old now. Kittens are doing well, purr and sleep on my lap, eat from my lap. They do hiss when I first pick them up, but start purring and make good lap kittens. Should we reunite kittens and mama? I am afraid the kitttens will regress. Mama cat is very afraid of us, but will sit in my husband's lap when wrapped in a towel and has purred some. To complicate matters, we have 2 old house cats, both spayed females. So we keep babies in master bathroom, mama in downstairs bathroom while other 2 get to stay as normal as possible. WE hope to have one big happy family of cats someday soon.
Thanks,
Sherry
