Pardon me for a moment while I rant before getting to the main issue at hand.
Last September one of my brother's brought home a cat. (I now know, from watching her kittens grow, that she was about fifteen weeks old when he got her.) She had kittens. (Not my fault; I tried to get her fixed before she ever went into heat.) He recently moved out taking the mother cat with him, and two of her kittens. (She had five.) He left one of the girls, the runt of the litter, because she is my favorite of the litter. He left the two boys because, and I quote, "they would be inconvenient."
Inconvenient? INCONVENIENT?! Their mother gave birth IN MY ROOM, I was the one who figured out why their mother was losing weight despite eating more than her weight in food a day when she first began nursing, I was the one responsible for making sure we got more litterboxes as they began venturing out into the rest of the house, I was the one who figured out how to train them to USE the litterbox, I was the one who cleaned the messes they made around the house, it was MY stuff they destroyed as their claws were coming in, it was MY sleep they disturbed as newborns when they cried at night, and they're inconvenient for HIM????!!!!
All right, rant over, and now back to the main issue. The mother cat is not doing well in her new home. According to my brother she's hiding in corners, randomly attacking people, hissing at everyone (even the kittens that went with her), and his roommate has said he either needs to fix the issue or get rid of the cat, so she's coming back here.
What should I expect to happen, and how should I deal with it?
