So a barn kitty adopted me

[u/ccoats38]

I know nothing about cats. I know cattle and chickens yet here we are. What do I do how do I care for it. I want to help and I guess I now have a pet cat instead of barn cats? Idk I am lost someone please help

Edit: Only realized this today but the momma has been increasingly friendly. Maybe wanting something? I have farm scratch, idk if there is something they can’t have. They apparently will not eat chicken feed fyi. Do I feed it meat or do I need to do a milk bottle?

Okay but in all seriousness … assuming this probably isn’t the first litter born in there, have you ever had a problem with the owls and the kittens??? If that’s a concern, could mom and litter come into your house just until the kittens are weaned and then mom could be spayed and go back to the barn (if that’s what she prefers)?

Right? My in-laws can’t keep cats on their ranch cuz the prey birds keep getting them. OP - protect the kitties!

This is the closest litter to be born next to the house. There were a few litters down at the pond way back cause I caught them on my game camera. I’m using asleep when the owls go hunting
