Well, I was working on an electrical problem with my driver and decided I should check if there was any difference between 2 cars I own. They are both '74 2.0. Anyway, I've got the the cover on the car, it covers the cockpit/engine lid. I remove the car cover and there's a black cat, in the passenger's floor board. I open the passenger door and shoo the cat out the driver's side. That's when I noticed the kittens on the floor. I don't know how old they are, but I didn't touch them or anything on their side. I just unbolted the fuse panel. After I checked the fuse panel, I took this pic, then covered them back up with the car cover. It appears that they just recently started opening their eyse. Does anyone know what their age is and if the mother is going to abandon them?

How do I remove them? I'm hoping that the mom will move them....

I don't want to raise any kittens, but I also don't want to kill them unintentionally...

They might be gone tommorrow since you found the lair. She'll probably be back to move them. If not, I'd call a vet since that rural stuff just gets close to illegal now a days if someone knows about it. Good luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Mom will move them. As long as you didn't roll up the windows or otherwise 'lock' her out. They don't look like they were born there. Mom probably just moved them in there recently.

Too bad you're so far away, because I'd take 'em. Kitty-less right now.

No problem Pat, they're small enough to pack all 3 in the USPS $8.95 box... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Probably about 2 weeks old. If you haven't touched them, she should be back.

At least with the cats in the car, they'll keep the mice and squirrels from making a nest with the wires.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'd be concerned. They might be small and all but they somehow managed to yank your A-Piller trim off... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Lest you forget, there's no such thing as a free kitten. I have 3 that were born in my Volvo 544. I took 'em home at 3.5 weeks, 'cause the mom moved them and dropped one into a box of parts where it would have died. We fed 'em with an eyedropper for about a month, and washed 'em off in the bathroom sink after every "feeding adventure". Did you know they make "kitty formula"? I now have 3 adult cats, weighing a total of about 35 lbs (2 at about 9.5, one a bit under 15.) It was pretty amusing taking them to the vet's last week, all in the same carrier. Talk about random motion, the thing just wobbled like one of those paint shakers. What with food, cat "trees", office visits, shots, and spaying/neutering, I'm in 'em over a grand in 18 months, and would do it again in a minute. (IF I needed more cats, that is.) 3 from the same litter is a whole different ballgame ..................

I don't think cats have a problem with you touching the kittens. birds do for sure though... The kitten formula is called KRM if she does abandon them... You should be able to get it at any feed store, along with a bottle. Don't wait too long for mom either, they need to eat about 2-3 times a day. Before you do much more than feed though, be sure to have them tested for Feline Leukemia. They usually don't survive for more than a few weeks if they are infected in the womb. If they do survive they often sucumb to a variety of Leukemia related illnesses. A lot of people will live trap mom and have her tested and spayed as well to keep down the feral population. Often they have programs to pay for the spaying and testing for feral cats.

I just spent $1300.00 on one of mine for kidney stones. He is pretty good about keeping you company while you work on the car though... He has also promised to rip a new tail into this red-haired b**ch if she shows herself around here ever again... Gotta like that. An attack trained cat!
