My neighbours cat had a litter of kittens 2 months ago, and today I took two of them home. We live 60 meters apart on the same piece of land
I have a very good relationship with the kittens mother 'Indy' and she usually visits me on a daily basis.
When she came by today, she of course saw her two kittens inside...I let her in, which instantly made them more comfortable in the house.
'Indy', goes away for long periods of time, then comes back to sit, groom, and be with her kittens, she still has three more remaining at the neighbours house,
so is obviously now nurturing in two homes.
She passed by the evening, in order, to what seemed like, to collect them and take them home.
I am not sure that this is a good scenario for integrating the kittens into my home, and for her to be able to let go of them, and I see that the situation is obviously quite confusing for the mother.
For now, I let her in, and when she is ready, she can go out, but without them.
Other than shutting all the blinds, this situation was not avoidable.
I am curious if anyone has any tips, or experience with a similar scenario, and can maybe give me some tips on how to make this easier for the mother, and kittens .
I'd be grateful
