Catran, Your baby was too young to leave her mother. We are all used to hearing that kittens are ready to leave at 6-8 weeks. The truth is that your baby is crying for her brothers and sisters-and mother too, even if she was weaned. There was a wonderful article by Barbara French published in CATS magazine which was made available to me at the Breeders Forum. I printed it out to show prospective buyers who often remark that 12 weeks is too old for a kitten. If you're interested, look for the thread about Siamese kittens. I know you would never have been impatient if you'd thought that you had a frightened, heart-broken baby. Yes, I have got impatient with my cats too, and never harmed an animal in my life. However, I suggest that you not yell at this poor little mixed-up, frightened baby. Try to make up for a lost family.
