lorrainejmc Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 A female cat arrived with us (uninvited) over the winter and now we have 5 kittens.:glare: Anyway, spaying planned and cat charity lined up for kitten rehoming...... So, today she decided to move the kittens. They were born on Friday in the linen closet upstairs where the hot water tank is so it should be warm. She wants to move them to the room my two boys share. It really isn't safe to leave them there as they are, well young boys.;) Right now she is locked in my room with them but she will have to move in the morning as dh is working nights this week. I don't understand this. We left her to it mostly, just checking in briefly a few times a day and haven't been handling the kittens a lot. I can't take her downstairs as we have 5 dogs. Yeah, like we needed a cat...... What can I do to make her feel safe in one suitable place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garddwr Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Do you have a nice box fixed up for them with a towel or something soft? Make it as much like a little dark den/cave as possible, maybe cover half the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's because she could see the front door where she originally was?:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorrainejmc Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 I just checked on her (closed in my room) and she had two kittens out of the box and trying to get into my closet. Another unsuitable location as she could cause an avalanche of old shoes and Christmas decorations.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Closets are good... Like back in a corner somewhere. Is there any spare closet? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
