I was under the impression my cat, Bastet, was just getting fat. I have one rather large cat already. Bastet isn't that old. She just started going into heat so I had made an apointment to get her spayed even though she is strictly an indoor car. My mother is rather careless and it seems let her out a couple times by accident
. I assume this is when she got pregnant. I was getting dressed for school this afternoon when I hear meowing under my bed. I was a bit freaked out to find my cat giving birth and subsequently missed school...which made my mother very angry but I certainly wasn't leaving Bast alone at that moment, I mean, come on >.>;;.
Anyway, I now have five newborn kittens under my bed. They all look quite healthy. I tried moving them into a box I lined with towels but Bast wasn't having that and simply started moving them back. So they're still under my bed, which I moved some so I can get to them, though it smells just awful now. I put down a couple of towels nearby for her but other than that I have no idea what to do. I've only ever raised baby kittens who didn't have a mother. I have a feeling it's an entirely different set of rules when the mother is a good one. Does anyone have any advice for me?
I feel so guilty for assuming Bast was just fat
She was trying to get my attention earlier today and lead me into the bedroom but I just didn't understand. It was my dog that led me to her and the kittens. (Dog and cat are on the best of terms). I've since locked him out of the room though, just so he won't get on her nerves.
