Hi
I have two one year old female calico cats. Their names are Persephone and Calliope. We had Perseph first, and then got Callie. They had little spats at first but became very very close eventually. Close to the point where Perseph was very mothering to Callie. Even dry nursing her.
Now Perspeh is pregnant (our choice, not an accident) and she's due to have her litter in about 3 weeks.
We are wondering if someone - cat breeder, perhaps, can offer advice on how to handle the relationship between the two older cats. Perseph is still the more serious 'mothering' type toward Callie, and Callie is very silly and playful. Will Callie be jealous? Should we keep them separate, although we worry they will miss each other? Should we keep Callie away from Perseph's kittens?
Thanks!
