I don't know if its because Hekate lost her mum in the furniture accident and then her 3 remaining siblings to the outdoors conditions or not, but today Megtron is being very protective of little Hekate!
We will set up security cameras soon, it was expected that some of the older cats would take off in a rural enclave like this, but that the kittens started disappearing was a surprise... A predator like a monitor lizard might have gotten one of them, but maybe someone picked up the last 2, which would be fine as even the cats themselves think its too crowded...
It has been quite some work to take care of all our cats that came from the 4 original ones that just popped up at our roof a couple of years ago, we did not want to stop them from being their natural self without any neutering or such, so they multiplied of course!
We can carry the cost, fortunately, but also there is a natural, maximum size that they sense themselves, and that is clearly why the males leave to start their own families :-)
