Imagine the warmth of being a kitten snuggled between 2 large adult female cats.

We actually had to keep taking Gracie (who is yet to give birth) out of the box for awhile, as Sophia was overheating not long after giving birth. It’s definitely warm in there 😍

One of them looks like one of my old cats that my parents got rid of around March and May. I didn't want him to go but I hope he is in a good home now.

Old cats are very often put down. That was a very cruel thing to do by your parents

How do you tell when a cat is overheating? Do they act differently?

We’ve had over 70 foster kittens now, so it makes it a bit easier to get on with normal life. This little family is certainly cute though..

It’s been a rough few days but they’re doing well. Onwards to their babies growing up, getting mamas desexed and off to enjoy their lives 🫶

I remember in 8th grade Spanish class, my friend raised her hand. When the teacher called on her, she announced, apropos of absolutely nothing, that she suspected her cat was gay.

We all thought it was funny at the time, but apparently this is a real thing. Animals of all species have been observed in same-sex relationships. (OK, it's still kind of funny even in 2022.)

I definitely knew a pair of gay horses who absolutely had to be together at all times or they'd cry for each other and break things to get back to each other

We had two unspayed female cats when I was in my early teens. They both became pregnant, one a couple weeks before the other. We prepared a box with comfortable sheets for the first to have her kittens in, which she did. We prepared another box for the second cat. When she went into labor, she jumped into the first box. We put her in her own box. She went back. We put her back into the other box. She went back. Finally we just let her have her kittens in the already occupied box. We ended up with seven kittens with two mothers, and nobody knew or cared which belonged to who.

I once had two female cats, one somehow got out and got pregnant, we fixed the other one real fast but allowed the first one to have her litter. The “auntie” cat got so involved that the kittens tried to nurse on her. She also sometimes tried to steal the kittens, grabbing them and carrying them off.

Rum Tum Tugger is from Cats. Like the rock star of the cats. I’m implying he’s the father of both litters :P

My two sister- litter mates did that .

Sadly it isn’t uncommon for female cats to have litters at same time as those they cohabitate with. So many kittens in the world 😕

Not OP, but Instagram is great for cat pictures! I don’t get any garbage on there because I don’t follow anything but cat-focused accounts and tags. 😁

BitchtitsMacGee t1_iyb2f51 wrote

Neighbor’s outdoor barn cats used to live in a pride-like group with multiple momma cats who raised their kittens together. They would also steal kittens from each others nests. Once every couple of months the neighbors would bring around the box o’kittens looking for homes.

Will they be interchangeable moms to the kittens or do they seem to know which ones belong to to them?

2

PupsandKittens1512 OP t1_iybwiih wrote

One mama hasn’t had her babies yet, so yes - they will interchange kittens and will probably not know who is genetically theirs. It’s very common in cat populations

Equivalent_Metal_534 t1_iycc4s5 wrote

Is there ever an issue with the first litter nursing the milk of the second litter to the point that the second litter is under-developed to a degree?

1

PupsandKittens1512 OP t1_iyccalr wrote

Great question! No, mamas will make as much milk as is drunk, as long as they have the nutrients available. We just need to make sure she has lots of calorie intake as obviously growing babies and breast feeding at once is a big energy toll. We will also supplement the second little of kittens with colostrum to be sure. It’s certainly not ideal, but it happens in the ‘wild’ and it’s significantly more stressful to seperate the two of them.

I adopted two sisters who then proceeded to escape the house the night before their spay appointment and both get pregnant. They raised their kittens together in the same box. They moved them together themselves!
