maybe print off one of the links about how to raise kittens? Maybe someone can post a link with all the info on one article? I would worry about something happening to momcat prior to birthing. Predators and PEOPLE who don't leave animals alone worry me more. Can you explain to her that momcat was an outdoor kitty but needs a safe place to rest up for giving birth?
Do you have a vet nearby? Maybe the vet can speak to your mom. also maybe do an ultrasound on momcat to see how many kittens are on their way? Mom will need to stay INDOORS after birth-there are parasites and ickies that can kill the kittens-the kittens wont have built up immunity to these things until they have their booster shots and regular set of shots. There are horrible viruses that can wipe out a litter of kittens in days if she doesn't keep your girl kitty inside. The mom can fight off germs but those kittens will be vulnerable to several common virus/parasites that would be heart breaking to watch.
We have seen too many people have to watch their kittens fade away from an unknown disease/germ and we want to spare you from having to live through this. please share this with your mother. kitty will be fine inside-she will be sleeping more than anything to get ready to give birth.
