Yeah--we've been holding them and petting them everyday-momma too--gave her a piece of hot dog today Best I can figure her schedule is she stays with them starting just before dark to about noon the following day then goes out and is in and out until just before dark. So far the kittens can't get out of the box yet by themselves it wouldn't be until they could jump before they can get out on their own. Heck I even got pooped on by one today--yeck.

Well just got confirmation momma moved the kittys. I went down to see if momma was around and what I suspect was the daddy cat came running out of the basement. Only one kitten was left. So i stood around for a bit and caught momma coming out with the last kitty. She was taking then next door (where she lives) So I'm gonna let them know tomorrow I have homes for three of the little boogers.

Sometimes the ol tomcat will kill the kittens especially the male kittens........that may be why momma is moving them.....she may know that he has found their hideing place.

I was wondering if they would do that--I got down there just in time then--he is a big boy too--ifn I found he was getting the kittys i'd have to take care of him--but momma took care of it for now. Where I'm thinking they are now--old tom can't get to them--4 big dogs in a fenced yard to take care of that
