I have a 5 year old female cat that was spayed at 6 months...she's a housecat and rarely goes outside....not a particularly social cat....about 4 weeks ago we picked up a stray female and although there was some initial hissing and growling, they eventually began playing...well this new cat turned out to be pregnant and just gave birth last week (7 days ago) to 5 kittens...the problem is that kittens were going missing, and it turns out that whenever Momcat gets out of her box, my older cat starts grabbing kittens and running....she doesn't hurt them...she washes and snuggles them...but this is leading to all kinds of trouble with Momcat...my vet says to keep them apart, which is easier said then done...I'm truly afraid of what will happen when they open their eyes and start walking....anyone else had this kind of problem? I swear these cats are keeping me up all night with this nabbing and fighting and growling...I actually found a kitten hidden in my shoe!
