My cat had kittens about 8 weeks ago. She hid them in a in the basement and they didn't have any light or human contact. I have brought them upstairs and put them in a pack and play. They are very timid but except for one they will let me handle them. Is there anything else I should do besides handle them daily? Should I completely separate them from the mother, she is very protective? The mother was a feral cat that has never been very affectionate with people and will only let me pet her. She repeatedly tries to take them back in the basement. I don't want to wind up with five kittens and two cats. I have people who want the kittens but I want to make sure that they are turning into housecats before I send them off. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
