Hello, I am new to this site, but not new to cat pregnancy. I fostered pregnant queens and abandoned kittens for my animal shelter for years.
Recently my 15 year old Japanese bobtail passed away and I was looking to adopt another bobtail breed. Friday I met a lady who's mother just passed and they were rehoming her two bobtails, a male and a female. Neither were fixed but they swore the female wasn't pregnant. Well I could tell she was pregnant the minute I looked at her, but I took them in anyway and will keep the kittens too.
Okay, here's the problem. She's about 6 weeks and I already scheduled her mate's appointment to be neutered this week. But they are extremely attached. He is about 3 years old and she is about 1. They get very anxious when I separate them and I don't want to cause her any more stress, but I also know male cats have been known to attack kittens. I'm worried what will happen if I'm not there to supervise the birth. Right now they're both in my master bathroom, cuddling in the birthing box. Should I just separate them?
Thank you so much if you read all that!
