    Double Kitten trouble
    HI everyone I am here to ask for some help it is a bit of a long and complecated situation but I'm hopeing you have the patiance to stick with me on this one as I am really concerened.

    I have 3 cats one that's two years old and has been sprayed

    I also adopted two sisters last year I have kept them as indoor cats and I know may of you disagree with this but I had them booked to be sprayed at one year old which would have been two weeks ago as I feel its better for the cats to get to know me before an operatio this is just my personal preferance and thought on the matter.

    However we had an accident!!

    Yes I know I should have been more careful but I left our kitchen window open one day by accident when I returned home there was a tom cat in our house our cats have not been out at all so means they got pregnant at the same time.

    Now the issues I have both the cats I have are now pregnant the first one gave birth 5 days ago the kitten all 4 of them seem to be doing fine the cat gave birth in our bedroomand vet confirmed month and babies are fine I have been leaving the cat and kittens in our bedroom whilst being at work as I think they are too young to be with the other cats right now as soon as I open the door the mother comes our and leaves them for a few hours but is back again at night time and feeds them well. The other cat who is still pregnant (Mini) is due to give birth anyday this is where the problem lies, mini had chosen a space in our bedroom to give birth but dini had hers first in the same place the kittens are only 5 days old so worried about moving them to another room is it too soon?
    Mini is trying to get in to our bedroom especially this morning as I think she is ready to give birth I'm scared of leaving the door open as I could not get time off work today and I have seen on another tread that if two cats are pregnant at same time one cat will eat the other babies and I do not want this to happen but I have also heard that is a cat has found a place to give birth and then that place is not available anymore e.g. my bedroom it will delay its own pregnancy and result in still born babies?? I have tried setting a room for mini to have her kittens there but she just is not intrested can anyone give me any advice what I should do??


    Just so you are aware the cats are both booked to be sprayed after birthing and weaning the window is firmly shut and all kittens have had a good home arranged


    Thanks

    It should be okay to move the 1st mom and kittens into another room even a bathroom. Just make sure to move them with whatever bedding they are hanging out with so the scent is there. Then your bedroom would be free for the next litter.
    Youm could also call your vet to get advice from a professional.
