Three boys and a girl


 


Millie has told me in no uncertain terms that she doesn't need or want my help raising her kittens thankyouverymuch..

I started her out in the cage because she seemed to want as little space as possible to be better able to protect her kittens... but I am never a real fan of cats laying right next to their litter box and her bedding was being covered with litter, which just irritated me because, photos.  With just the small door opening, I am sure I was hovering (in her opinion), but I just wanted to make sure everyone was okay. She has been reacting "less than stellar" and I have had less and less time being able to "help" so I am going to give her what she wants and attempt to be hands-off for a couple of days..

Anyway, I decided to put the litter box right outside the cage. This allows me to leave the door open on the random off chance she wants to get up and wander around a bit.. I put the box I bought for nesting moms in there too, just in case she wanted a different place to put them. It isn't the prettiest, but hopefully, it will give Millie a little more room and a bit more confidence.. 


I was able to gender the kittens. We have three boys. There is no way I am going to get to know their personalities before I name them because Millie has put her paw down.. I need to stop weighing them and stop making sure they are okay, she has this.

I wonder if I have ever named kittens Frick and Frack..

  1. May as well give her the den that she craves, at least part of the time!

  2. I guess you will just have to be patient with her for a while. I hope she comes around at some point.

  3. What a good and very protective mama she is. The temptation is great to just wanting to pick them up and smooch them.

  10. They are so cute! I hope Millie chills a bit as they grow up. Surely she'll want a babysitter at some point. :)
