Mudgirl - The house cats don't get along with the barn cats - thus, I have no place to put them. I have read that once the baby is away from the mom, she will not reunite with the baby. Good idea though - thank you. I finally got some water down the baby with an eye dropper - he is stubborn and won't open his mouth for me. We have put in bugs, apple, cat food, cabbage, lettuce - he just hides under the towel. The water should help her. He is pretty strong and hasn't tried to bite me. But still, very young. Appreciate your care.
