Yesterday was raining and cold all day. The mom cat was on the porch but she didn't bring the babies. I found them cold and wet and shivering under the bush by the house. Maybe I shouldn't have, but I scooped them up and brought them back on the porch.
I think mom is trying to wean them. She kept avoiding them but eventually they all snuggled inside that box on the fuzzy blanket, the mom included.
I about died of fright this morning when I opened the back door to take them some food. There were clumps of white cat fur in quite a few places and also some blood drops.
I was so frightened something had happened to the white baby. I peeked into the box. The white kitten peeked back. All three of them and their mom were snuggled inside.
I guess another cat came on the porch last night and the mom let them know they were not welcome. Mom cat does not seem hurt so the blood must have been from the other cat.
I was just out and checked on them. The white one was sitting on the edge of the porch. I was afraid he would fall off so went out and took him back to the box. Mom was in the box with the orangie and the tuxie was running toward me. I put them back in but out they popped.
I came inside and watched through the window. Mom came and got the whitie by the neck and took him back to the box and the tuxie followed. That white one is going to be a trouble maker for sure.
Anyway, all are safe and warm and full right now. It's going to get into the 30s again tonight so hopefully she will keep them there a while longer.
I'm getting too old for all this drama!!!!!
