No, I don't mean that our cats are being attacked by wild bits of clay while in their box. I mean that the stray female cat who comes regularly to the window outside our hallway (she gets onto our roof) has had a litter of kittens. She has had other litters in past years, and we have found homes for them. Obviously, we need to try again to trap her to be spayed. (We did try, but she got into the trap without tripping the trigger. Can anyone recommend the best kind of trap? We might accidentally catch some of the skulking toms, too, which wouldn't be a bad thing. We'd do the TNR thing for them, too, if they chanced into our hands.) Okay, so there are three darling kittens and we are going to try to find homes for them, but my question is this: when we take the kittens from the mother, is there anything at all we can do for her about the engorgement of her breasts from sudden weaning? The kittens are definitely old enough to be taken, and if they get older, they will probably be too wild to catch. I always give kitten food, KMR, a bottle, and instructions when I give a kitten, by the way.
