So, a few weeks back, Mocha had kittens in the little cat house on the porch... a black kitten and a couple of orange ones. A few days later, one of the feral cats, a tabby, had a little calico-ish kitten, also in the little house. They co-parented for a few weeks, then I guess they had some sort of falling out, and the tabby moved ALL the babies and took full custody of them.
A few days ago, Mocha took back her kittens, and took them to the cat house in the back yard. But, she has mastitis, and it hurts her when the kittens nurse, especially when they knead. We have her on antibiotics and ointment, and I was worried I was going to be feeding kittens again. I did feed them twice yesterday. I can't stand to hear kittens crying. It hurts my heart. But, this morning, the tabby came back with her kitten and they're co-parenting again.
