Kitty Katty was running around in the house like he was hearing something, and I thought I heard a kitten. There are 2 baby kittens out front against the house They look about 6-8 weeks old. I am wondering if they belong to the cat that was out here the other day.

I suppose the mom is in the middle of moving her babies, I don't know.

I don't know what to do with them. I am thinking I need to let them be, I don't know. Anyone? I can't bring them in my house w Kitty Katty, he would have a breakdown.

I saw a cat with their coloring out here the other day and there was a cat on our porch several days ago....they are such little cuties.

Put food out for them and the mother, to encourage her to keep them nearby, then find a havahart trap and collect them and bring them to a rescue. You've been Chosen, she scoped you out and something about you or your home assured the little mother her brood would be safe there.

Please do what Catsmom suggested. At least feed them and if possible capture them before a predator (human or animal) gets them or they get run over.

They were gone when I went out there again this morning. =( I suppose I could put some food and water for them and see what happens.

Oh the one was so beautiful. All white with a spot of grey here and there, the other one was a light grey tabby. I have no idea if there were more or not.

If the mother is who I think it is, she is a tiny little kitty, white and grey.

I have not seen the kittens but I think they may have been near last night, or maybe the mother was. Kitty Katty was running back and forth from the living room door to our bedroom. This morning I heard a cat screaming and I came out and my bf said it was that cat again and she took a swipe at Kitty and pushed the screen door in.

We cant try and catch her because I have no idea where the babies are, but I know they must be somewhere near.

She normally is around early in the morning.....

Oh dear, the mother is probably already gone into heat again. Are you feeding them? If you aren't, start now! (only during the day, don't leave food out at night)

Once you see the mother and kittens showing up for food every day, put the trap out. If you trap only the mama, the kittens, knowing where the food source is, will show up in a day or so, then you can trap them, too. With luck you might get the kittens first, then you won't have to worry about them. Otherwise you are going to find yourself with your own little feral colony very quickly. I know you don't want that.

Agreed to put food out the mother probably need it and won't venture too far from the babies. Maybe she sensed Kitty Katty and moved the babies? But pick up food at night so predators won't be attracted to the smell of the food. The babies may start wondering soon and she could cycle and mate again soon. You could see if you have a TNR program that would spay her inexpensively.

I have seen her around our yard alot in the last several weeks, and 3 times on our porch. We saw the kittens in front of our house one morning but they are gone now.

She has been back a few times since then....
