Lizzie - you are right, I really don't have any place to house the mother and kittens. I don't know what to do. I've called the rescue where I adopted Jazz and Scout and left a message asking for their advice. Richard is pushing me to make decision if I want to put the tuxie back or if I want him to gather the other two and keep the three kittens in the house at least tonight.

I've never been able to get the mom to trust me. She runs off when she sees me in the window watching her eat and to make matters even worse, this weekend we saw a coyote in the woods on the other side of our chain link fence. I've been so worried about her since.
