4 weeks ago I started feeding a stray. I could tell she was pregnant. Yesterday, she snuck into the cellar of our old house and had 2 kittens under a dirty shelf. I brought her and them up and put them into a towel lined basket and set them on the side porch with a blanket over them and the chair in front to hide them.
All's well this morning, but the mother is driving me nuts. I fed her. She is meowing like crazy going in and out of the house. I keep moving the basket to follow her to see if that's the problem. She nurses them, and then starts following me again. T hen she carried one out of the basket and nursed it in the bathroom. I checked the cellar for more kittens, but there are none (at least not alive). Is she trying to get me to do something? Is that normal behavior? I never had a mother cat before. I dont' really want her to become a house cat, I already have one indoors. She seems more content with them in the house though.
