Precious had her kittens yesterday! Unfortunately I wasn't here for it as I thought still had a few days to go, I wasn't expecting her to have them right now. Anyway, she had them under the stairs. i'll explain how the stairs in this house are set up.. The staircase is surrounded by a wooden wall type thing with a door.. underneath is a lot of space there and also a lot of stuff under there. luckily though they are right within reach when the door is open. I don't like that they are there though, I set up a few nests in my room, but she didn't like them I guess. I don't want them under the stairs because Mittens likes to open the door (there isn't a knob or anything and she know how to put her paw in the opening between the wall and door and pull to get up). We had a lock on the outside, and a lock on the inside to keep her from getting in but the lock on the outside broke, I'm afraid she will go under there and hurt the kittens or get into a fight with Precious. I want to get them all and put them in one of the nests I set out. But i'm not sure about it.. I don't want her to abandon them cuz I moved them, or moving them back to where she had them. Should I move them?? i won't do anything til i get an answer from you guys.
Anyway, I think I saw five under there, but I couldn't see so good cuz they were nursing and there were a couple that weren't. One is red, and one looks kinda like Precious, like part of the "m" on Precious' forhead is red, and its kinda like that. The rest were tabby, maybe one tabby and white but i'm not sure. I was able to pick up the red one and the one that looks like her, because they were the only 2 not eating at that time. Another reason I don't want them where they are is because it's not easy to be on my knees trying to see and opening the door with other people trying to get by. She had no problem with my handling them, she lays there and purrs while they're nursing. She left them once that I saw to munch on some food, but by the time i went to see them with out her there she was already back with them and plopped down to cuddle with them..
So, should I move them?
