Hi, thanks for the reply, and yes, I am aware of the threat from daddy, but I am letting him around them when I am there, and seperating them when Im not... he has actually cleaned and toileted them a couple of times, but not many. The male will usually kill them either to make the female come back into season (not an issue ), or because they aren't his, which 3 defo are, and two still may be.

They are feeding REALLY well now, even to the point one of them tries to grab the bottle with his/her paws!

Over the last day, the kitties have gone from staying in their bed sleeping to running round the living room... its like mummy not being there has made them go into fast forward developmentally!?
Is this normal??

Thanks, I am just focusing on getting these little kitties sorted right now... it would be doing tiddles an injustice not to follow through on the good work she has done!

Is he neutered? An unneutered tom should not be around. I also doubt he recognises any of them as 'his' :S Even neutered toms can be a risk.

If he isnt neutered, then he needs to be asap or he will be impregnating other cats and still being a threat to the kittens
