Question
There is a neighborhood mama cat that has given birth in the insulation under my mobile home. I would really like to remove the kittens, but I'm afraid mama will just bring them back. If I move them, will she put them back?
Deano,
Can you wait about 4-5 weeks? By then the kittens will be weaned and mama will probably disappear with them.
If you move them before then, she may bring them back or, if she cannot find another suitable spot, she may abandon them altogether.
When this is all over, you may want to find away of making it so no animals can get under your mobile home!
Best regards... Norm.

I have been breeding pedigreed cats since 1971 and have been exhibiting pedigreed cats in shows since 1970. I obtained my first pedigreed cat in 1970 and have never looked back. In 1971, I obtained my first Abyssinian which has become my primary breed. In addition, I have bred Manx and Persians. Currently, besides the Abyssinians, I am also breeding Maine Coons.
