My Kittens

Question
Okay...My Tiger-Lily had her babies 2 nights ago and my neighbors tom cat has been pestering her ever since I can remember...I can't find the babies anywhere, and I've let her run off to see if she would lead me to them...but she just goes in the woods and lays down...it almost seems like she's hiding from the tom cat, but maybe "on gaurd" to protect the little ones....Do you think that they would still be alive 2 days without their mother and after a COLD night??...thx so much....I'll be looking for your response, Ashley

Answer
Ashley,

I suspect that, if the kittens are still alive, Tiger Lily is taking care of them, but is too savvy to lead anyone to where she has them hidden.  If after 6-7 weeks, you do not see the kittens wandering around, I would suspect they did not make it.

Good luck and best regards... Norm.
