She is quite a small cat anyway, but they are getting quite big now and she brings them into us when were watching TV on a night, but she struggles to carry them, she even tries rolling them across the floor!
I guess I'm worried they will become to big for her to look after.

How old are the kittens?
When I fostered last year the Mum cat didn't carry the kittens around at all. They were about 3 weeks old when I got them. I think they were following her around by the time they were 5 or 6 weeks. Can't you help her out and bring them into the lounge when you're watching tv in the evening?
-
Their 2 weeks today.
We do bring her basket in the lounge with us on a night. But, she just likes to pick them up

Try looking at the link above for instructions to post pictures, its quite easy - even I can do it :rofl:
When we fostered a Queen and kittens last year Mum would pick them up and half carry - half drag them back into her box, but never would she bring them out, your girl obviously trusts you a lot if she wants to bring her kittens to you :Luv2:
As they get heavier I guess she will have to grip harder with her teeth hopefully she will have them trained to follow her by then ;D I seem to remember that the free range kittens stage was quite stressful - I was constantly going through the house doing head counts :rofl:
-
awww im sure they are all fine though, its not for want of trying anyway :wow:
I wouldnt worry, so long as they are fed and healthy its all you could wish for. Mom sounds very loving so thats great :Luv2:
agreed fluffy pics are needed :innocent: :evillaugh:

You couldn't get two such different kittens if you tried could you? what colour is Mum? more pictures please now you've got the hang of it! :naughty:

Mow mow is their mum, there are 2 male cats 4 doors down from us and one is pure ginger the other black and white, but their owner swears they were neutered, but I'm not too sure I think they are the dads maybe both or just one, and he doesn't want to say in case we asked him for something.
-
Mow Mow is getting nervous because their getting better on their feet and keep attempting to climb out of the wash basket their in, I was thinking of putting them in a toy box? What do you think? Just so she can chill out a bit.
-
When our kittens were this age they were in a large wire cage supplied by cats protection who we were fostering for, (the sort often used for dogs), I hated keeping mum cooped up in there so I left the door open and fixed a barrier around the front to give them a bit more space, eventually though the kittens learned to climb up the wire so I had no choice than to let them 'free range' rather than risk them getting their little paws stuck and breaking something.

I had them confined to one room to start with with a wooden gate across the door about 24 ins high but eventually even that did not contain them, kittens can be very resourceful, as you will discover..........

I so want a ginger kitten now :Luv2:

:rofl: :rofl:
They are absolutely adorable! Mow mow is beautiful too!
I have no experience of this, but obviously they are going to start exploring. Like Lorna did probably keep them confined to one room and let them have a wander, but just make sure its safe for them.
Are you going to keep them, or do you have new homes for them? x

They are beautiful, I think maybe they aren't neutered those 2 boys, have you shown the man they kittens?
Nicky
-
Yes we are keeping them both, I just love them too much, can't imagine giving them up :)
No, we haven't shown the neighbour, he said his black and white male is about 15 years so he doesn't think he would even get a cat pregnant! I defiantly think they are the culprits Lol! At least we know where the dad comes from. Also I have never seen a ginger kitten around here apart from that one.
-
such good news that you are keeping them :wow:
I would be checking the neighbours cats bits n bobs lol to see if they are neautered or not..at the end of the day though you have a 2 lovely kittens and a proud mummy cat that are all going to live with you so its a happy ending for a change!!
Make sure mum is done asap though as girls can get pregnant again very quickly and although two kittens are cute, a household of them could turn into a nightmare :shy:
-
I guess it doesn't matter which male is responsible, once you've had her spayed it won't be an issue, they are very cute kittens, good that they are staying with you
