Help! We took in a young pregnant cat a few weeks ago. She must have had a home because she is wearing a pink flea collar. We think she was turned away when her owners discovered she was pregnant.
This past Wednesday night she delivered 5 kittens, only 4 survived though. We have her and her kittens in a box with a blanket upstairs in the living room. Yesterday she started to try and take a kitten down to the basement. She's tried several times since, not always the same kitten. My question is....should I let her take them downstairs? Why is she doing this? What do we do?
Thankx for helping us.

Confused

first off: if the flea collar is still on, take it off. just like kittens that are young aren't supposed to get flea meds, they shouldn't be exposed to things like flea collars

and she probably wants to move them because she feels that the basement or whatever is a safer place. let her move them, and make sure you know where they are, maybe put a towel under them so that they aren't on the bare ground.

good luck!
