These kittens still need to be with momma. It makes me wonder as I watch them interact and race around the bedroom, if she was able to be with them naturally much at all, or did they spend all their time in the pen with her? I see a lot of social confusion with the litter and the two cow kitties will be playing with the others and let out this horrific meow/growl/hiss combination. The sound is very formidable. Stops me in my tracks every time and I have to go and investigate if there is an injured kitty in the wake of it. There never is- but it is a chilling sound. Reminds me of when two toms square off over a queen. Lots of testerones running amuck in the bedroom right now.

Delilah has recovered from her stroke almost 100% and I have tried putting her into other rooms so she doesn’t have to deal with the kittens, but she always want back in the bedroom. She is ignoring them to a large extent (I wish I knew her secret!) LOL I do know that these kittens need to still be with mom so she can complete the socialization and training process- but this is not a perfect world and I will have to step in and try to be mom for awhile.
