We have a cat and her four kittens, and they are all a little over a week old. They have their eyes open, and they are really cute, but the claws hurt. When will they start to retract them?

How long will it take for newborn kittens to leave our back yard?

About three weeks ago a pregnant street cat got into our back yard and gave birth to three kittens. They are still here with their mother. How long will it take until the kittens are big enough and leave the back yard?

Also, is there a chance they won’t leave on their own if they find it too comfortable here?

How and when should I introduce newborn kittens to a 5 month old maltipoo puppy?

Right now I have them in two seperate parts of the house, and the cat and dog got along well before my cat had the kittens. I have found loving homes for all 5 kittens but I can’t give them away until they’ve reached 6 weeks… how should I go about introducing them and when would be a good time?

Where is the best place to keep my cat and her newborn kittens?

My cat just had four kittens on Sunday. (One underneath my bed) They have a really nice, big, warm, and comfortable kitten bed. We were keeping them under our dining room table, near her food and her litter box. Three days later, she took all her kittens under my bed. It is a very cramped and unsafe area were there is no room for the kitten bed. Our house is fairly large. Do I need to keep her in a more quiet, secluded place? Why is she taking her kittens under by bed?
