I have 3 cats, two females, and one male. Not related.
One of the females recently gave birth to 4 kittens, yep gorgeous!
We introduced Ally (the female middle cat) to the kittens and she was fantastic, cleaning them up alongside Lou Lou (Their mum), no bitching or growling ever, can't belive it ourselves but those two girls have been diamonds. Now, situation is:- we have eddie our male cat, I held a kitten in my hand and watched eddie look at it and pay it some attention, he never ventured near it just sat on his spot and looked.
It was going well, however i moved closer to eddie with the kitten still in my hand then eddie turned up his bottom lip and his face changed, he didnt growl, attack or make a noise (i think he was startled cause the kitten looked up at him) and then eddies lip curled, i immediately withdrew the kitten from his range, eddie remained on the spot but i didnt like the look in his face, (he wasnt all puffed out, but looked kinda fierce), he then walked off, lol
Now the problem is this,we have both mum and kittens in the spare room, to be honest its smelling badly cause of the litter tray and the room warms up fast, how do i tread when trying to introduce eddie to the kittens again?
I would love it if we could leave the door open so lou-lou can come and go as she pleases but worry about Eddie, he's a decent cat, never fights with other cats, but im still worried.
Your reply would be grately recieved,
