We took in an abandoned female cat 2 months ago and we did take her to the vet for check up and all and wasn't told she was pregnant. Anyway we noticed her stomach getting big and this weekend we were going to take her to the vet to make sure she didn't have any infection.
Well except today after I got home from college, and SURPRISE I found her giving birth in the litter box! Long story short, we have 3 newborn kittens.
The question I have is, we have 2 other older cats in the house, both around 2 years old, male, neutered cats. What do we do? Do we keep them separate? For how long? How do we introduce them to each other?
We thought they were going to be fine but my older cat made a 'unhappy noise' when he came to visit momma and her kittens in one of our rooms and momma cat sat on her kittens to hide them from him and was making 'crying noise' so we have them separated for now.
