My New Borns and other cats

16:11:40

Question
I have 4 female cats in my home that range in age 6 months to 12 years old. My 2 year old had a litter of 5 kittens and My question is.... Would the new borns be ok with the other 3 female cats in the house or should I keep them out of the room im useing to keep the new borns in? Thanks

Answer
Hi Lisa,

The newborns will be fine. They are born into the household so there should be no problem. The mom will keep an eye on them. You might have one of the others hiss if they get too close but that is normal. They will be taken care of by their "Aunties". Good luck.

Ciao, Karen
