A new kitty family newly shifted in my garden!**more update + pictures**

A mother cat will leave her kittens when the time has come to do so. They will not stay together forever. This is completely normal & natural for them. So do be prepared that momma will leave. As for the kittens...you say it is very hot during the day so they will most likely stay in hiding where it is cool. Your best chance at seeing them will be in the evening when it gets cooler. You can just go out and sit quietly for awhile, maybe read or something. They will come out to eat & get some 'freedom' & 'activity' in the evening.

You are sooo correct!! They really did come out in the evening. The guy who works in my home, told me that they were out and playing, then they hid when they saw me. They are still very afraid of me, they don't come close when their mother is away, the kitties stay at the front of their hiding place, but don't step out And I still haven't seen the mother, the kittens are all together and I am not sure where the mother could be. They came out in the evening when it was cooler, I pray and I hope that it is a cool and nice tomorrow

Green beans won't hurt the kitties at all. My cats that eat wet food all eat veggies. They eat carrot, peas, green beans, spinach, pumpkin, squash, potato & even some rice. These things are in their high quality, natural cat food. I give them wet food that is only rice, cooking liquids, meat, & veggie. It is all natural. So, if you want to give them meat with any of those things it is ok. Just make sure it has no extra stuff (spices etc) in it. Lots of people make their own cat food for their kitties because it is better than canned food which has all kinds of preservatives & additives & fillers.

This is the food I feed mine. They like the 1st one (natural) the best. They eat dry food (Royal Canin Fit 32 & Sensible 33) with it to give them a completely balanced diet.

I feed the momma cat I am caring for this. And she gets this with it as well as this. (Gimpet cat milk)

You are doing a lot for them by providing them with extra nutrition and giving them a better chance of surviving than just doing nothing. So, know that you are doing a good thing.

Thank You for increasing my knowledge about kitty food. I can, for now only feed them veggies that are cooked my home. Today there was chicken, should I give them some? There might not be sooo much spice in it. Would it be alright?

You can give them the chicken. Make sure there are no bones and to be sure just rinse the chicken off with water to clean away any spices or herbs that may be on it. Meat, be it chicken, fish, beef, goat, pork, wild game is good for them. Just make sure there are no bones and rinse it off to clean away any spices that might be on it.

Thank You! I will give it to them when they wake up

Well, there is a huge update. The kitties are all well and the momma too has been SPOTTED!!! I saw her a couple of days ago, actually I think yesterday

Well, I was in the garden, early morning on Friday. I was eating a nugget and I thought that, well, how about if I drop a small piece of the chicken inside it and see how the kitties like it. Well, when I did it, you wouldn't believe!! All the three kitties ran here and there, one coming out and smelling for the nugget, another coming out and searching, another running back in and all the running here and there, someone taking a sip of the water, I was shocked and surprised...and worried. I put another piece and some came out and looked for the piece. I was sooo worried that the kittens were soo hungry. I ran downstairs, even though I had to go to school, I ran downstairs and hurried to get some chicken for them to eat. I got some chicken and two of the kitties came to eat and so they finished it all, I was sitting close but, they weren't afraid right now. Then, I went downstairs and got more food, the orange one came and finished it all. As I saw them eat the food, I was worried and sad, and cried a while because I thought the mother stopped taking good care of the kitties, I hadn't seen her since a week, and I was worried because for the past week, I thought I should put food once a day, due to certain reasons, a couple of days, I couldn't put up food, it was either too hot or I was a little busy in my work.

Well, on my way to school, I was worried still and earlier I wasn't feeling well and I also thought about staying home and caring for the kittens and taking care of my headache. Well, I did go to school and on the way, I was really angry at the momma, because I thought she hadn't properly cared for the kittens. Well, later I thought that she could be doing sooo much for the kittens and its not necessary that she should be doing it in front of me, when I was not there, she could have been there for the kittens, and I understood that getting angry at the momma was really wrong.

Later, I was putting food for the kittens and suddenly the momma came out of the hiding place along with the kittens, I was soo happy to see her. I was shocked and happy. They ate food, drank water and then she went to the grassy area and laid there.

Well, later I went to check up on the kitties today, on Saturday early morning nearly 5:30 am. The kitties were awake and as hyper as could be. Running around and paying while their mother was in sight. I took pictures and made movies. Oh! and there is a new nest above the kitties hiding place, its of a red-vented bulbul, there are kind of common in my city. I saw a babyish one today. And the mom is afraid I might hurt her kids and she is seriously afraid of the camera. I can't take a picture of her standing near to her. She flies away. Well I took a far away picture of her and the nest, I couldn't take of the babies but i did take a picture of the nest.

Here is the nest



Here are the kitties pictures










Well, these are it I guess...

Oh! and bad news!!

The kitties were in the garden meaning their hiding place is in the garden and its been raining a little and there was a lot of thunder and lightening. I was praying that the kitties and the birdies stay safe.

Oh, what lovely photos of such a lovely family of kitties! Thank you, Sana.

And thank you for looking after them so carefully. Prayers from us too that the kitties and birdies stay safe.

Well, good news and bad news..

Good news, I went up in the garden and the kitties were there, safe I saw two and I am still hoping the momma was with them. I'll find out when I'll put food up there She runs right out of the hole :-D The momma bulbul was sitting in the nest, and I am sure that the kids were there, I hope none of the baby animals were afraid, the mothers must have been fine, but the babies, I hope they weren't scared too much... :-(

Well, bad news is, the thundering and lightening started again, but it isn't as much as it was last night. It was raining a little and then I had to go.

Here are some more of the pictures I took yesterday.
I think the kitty looks adorable, look those ears!!




Here is their hiding place, as you can see, one kitty is demonstrating how they come out



I guess this is it
