I want to stary out by saying that I have only had dogs my entire life, so bear with me if my questions are weird, or if I seem to have a more "dog like" view on behavior. I just am in unchartered territory here and when I would google my million questions i have had about cat care, your site kept coming up and gave me some very good advice, direction and hope. Long story-i will try to shorten it though, lol. Took in 2 pregnant cats and 2 juveniles (which i assume belong to one or each of the adults). They just showed up at my pole barn, weird I know. Kittens were had, most were homed and I now have 5-the original 4 plus 1 kitten now 6 months old. With the wildlife around my home I opted to keep them in the barn for their safety. The moms are separated apart as well as from the youngsters as they were a little crabby with the young ones. The former juveniles are with the kitten, who I guess isn't really a kitten so much anymore. I plan on setting up an area where they can get outside, but enclosed so they are safe when the weather gets better. Can they go back together? Should I reintroduce slowly? I don't know if the mom's crabbyiness was because they were pregnant, or if it was because they wanted the kids to go off on their own. I'm just concerned about someone getting hurt if it's a territory thing. Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks!
