Well, it's been a few weeks since I posted that my stray beauty was pregnant. She gave birth to 7 kittens last Saturday. Sadly one didn't make it. They are growing like crazy and she has proven to be a very good momma. I have a question though. I have a dog, a puppy and a male cat as well. All but the male cat have visited the kittens and seem to do ok with them as long as I supervise, but I am unsure as to what the male cat may do. Madonna (the stray) is getting antsy being trapped in a kennel and a room, so I have begun letting her out to roam the house once in a while. My fear is that the male (Eakins) may kill the kittens. Is my fear unfounded???
My golden loves to help bathe the babies and the puppy does too, but she gets a little excited around them and I really have to watch her. I am very lucky to have a no-kill shelter who has agreed to take momma and all her kittens if need be. I am unfortunately able to keep any of them due to the fact that she won't let Eakins in the house most of the time and frankly I don't want more kitties. I only took Madonna in because she was extremely thin and frail. Little did I know she was also pregnant. Oh well!!!
