Motherly Instincts In Overdrive... MissC. (Need some help)   Author:  49101  Category:(Discussion) Created:(5/16/2004 7:43:00 AM) This post has been Viewed (572 times) Well, we have five bouncing baby kittens as of 11:30 PM. they are too cute for words! HOWEVER we have encountered some problems with the Mama. First of all, she won't let our other two cats come into the house, which isn't fair because they were here first. So we are thinking of moving her upstairs away from the other two (which are both males) Secondly, she seems to think my two nephews are hers. It is kind of cute, yet it poses a problem. We first noticed this morning that something was "Off", when my nephew Christopher (18 Mos.) started crying for a bottle. He is toothing and just not in a very good mood these days. She was in the front of the house nursing and he was in the back in the playroon, when he started to wail. The cat leapt from her nest, and rushed into the room where he was. She did that rubbing against his legs thing that they do, and that half purr half meow thing too. Then she laid down tummy up, and I think she was trying to nurse him. (In the mean time we all watched in awe, and were kinda laughing a little) But then she tried to herd him to her nest. She tried doing the same to the three year old. I am a little concerned because she is spending more time with the big babies than her own, which is funny when she is trying to herd them, but at the same time I worry for her kittens. It is really funny to watch, but still bothersome. She keeps doing it, especially when one of them cries. I have never seen a cat do this before, I am amazed. *Shrugs* Is there anything I should do?
