I can't move the trunks to another area until my son moves out...not going to happen in the near future. I have a playpen and I am sorely tempted to put all in it and put a piece of plywood on top. But she might panic if I did that, so I rolled up the edge of the blanket under them, put a sheet under it to make a rim and placed thick blankets on the floor in case one takes a nose dive. Crazy cat! At lease she isn't biting them like one of my queen did last year....first litter, 7 kittens, two had actual bleeding bite marks, (one didn't make it from the biting as did two of the tinier ones, who died of just being too small) Luckily I had another queen with young kittens (her mom) that took over and both litters were raised together. What doe one do in a situation like this when mom is biting and lugging kittens constantly I plan on breeding the biting queen again....she turned out to be an awsome mom. Is she likely to do the biting, lugging thing again?
I have no experience with Mums biting babies but if it was her first litter it could have been confusion
Is she doing it with this litter ? mums can also get a little stroppy if the kittens are moving around to much! this is why my girl moved her babies to keep them still
