My female cat just had one kitten on Tuesday (7-24-07).
She had it in a cat carrier in the laundry room which is fine. But so the other cats and dog did not disturb her we kept her locked in there with her food, water and litter box. We keep her locked in there with the kitten unless we can watch to make sure the other cats and dog leave the kitten alone. The few supervised visits they have had in the room have turned out okay. They were not interested and the mother just layed in the carrier purring. However the other cat is big and lazy and layed on the kitten once. (thankfully we say and moved it) My question is at what time am I able to leave the laundry room door open full time without watching?
