Hi all, I'd love some advice/ help.
My next door neighbours got 2 russian blue kittens (sisters) 2 years ago. They hardly fed them and I couldn't sit and watch so I took them in. Bear In mind I already had a rescue cat (same age and neuted) and a 12 year old farm cat who comes in from time to time for some food.
2 years later the two russian blues get pregnant ( I didn't even consider they're not spayed!!) Anyway the first has 4 kittens and 4 days later the second has 2. They shared a large nesting box and it was all going perfectly. They'd share in the feeding, and the nursing box was out the way of other cats so they had their own room. The first 4 turned 7 weeks old and one of the mum cats has turned mental, she's attacked the other mum so badly whilst I was at work the house was full of cat hair and the attacked cat was shaking with fear. The cat who's done the attacking had also fouled all over my house (un heard of always use a litter box) all over my sofa! (I saw her do it!!!) Anyway she then jumps in the nesting box and proceeds to attacking the kittens and I mean violently she had one by the neck shaking it like a rat, all the kittens were screaming!! I managed to jump in and get her (I'm dripping in blood!) All the kittens are petrified, lying down shaking. I've put her outside and locked the cat flap and kept the other cat to look after them. (Note all kittens were nearly weaned and are o biscuits) have I don't the right thing in putting her outside? I can't have her in the house attacking everything and pooing everywhere. She's not sickly or suffering. I've checked all her glands for mastitis or anything causing her pain and she's fine she's just turned evil. Any advice or suggestions would really help as I'm at my whits ends
