Great update on both the kitties. Won't be long before Angel climbs
out of the nest.

Angel is adorable, but I'm in love with gorgeous Winnie!

Well, we have a problem. Angel made a break for it this moring. I about had a heart attack when I looked out and saw her outside the shed. So I got her a deeper box.

It's 18 gal. No way she can get out of it but she seems to have an accomplace. Sure enough, she was soon outside again. Winnie brought her outside.

There is no way I can let Angel outside that shed yet. She is too little. We have hawks in the area that could carry her off not to mention she is too little to run from a dog or lawn mower.

Right now she is shut in the shed and Winnie is out having some free time.

I will have to either lock Winnie in the shed all the time (not good for either of them), bring Angel inside and bottle feed her, or just lock Winnie in with her certain times a day and at night.

Any suggestions?

Hmm, there are positive things to be said for each of your options. There's no question that Angel is too small to be running around outside even if mommy Winnie is with her. Maybe the thing to do is put Winnie inside the shed with her at certain times during the day. That way Winnie can tend to her baby and still have some free time outside. Would it be at all possible to allow Angel outside with Winnie for a brief time when you or someone can be out there too?

yes, I can do that. She has been having play times out of her box in the shed anyway. I just don't want her lost in the big world. Just to be safe, I got some of the formula for baby kitties just in case Winnie can't feed her like she should. Angel should be starting to eat wet food soon.

I may even take Angel in the house in the afternoons. That way I can keep an eye on her. I'm sure Chester and Grandma wouldn't bother her.

Can they both come inside? I wouldn't want someone to come along and snatch Winnie after all you have been through with her and Angel. Stay inside, widdle Angel!

I can't bring them both in at the same time because as protective as winnie is, she would shred Grandma and Chester.

I have Angel inside for a while right now. Winnie took her out of the box again and she was running amok in the shed. It's been raining all day and I don't want Winnie to be shut in the shed all day.

I have Angel inside one of my cat carriers. Safe from my two. Chester is glaring at the carrier and doing that deep throat growl they do plus hissing. Grandma is laying in my chair like she is wondering what the fuss is about.

Hopefully if I do this for a while, when Angel moves in for good, they will be ok with her.
