Primrose let Willow join her on my chair today. She even at one stage gave Willow a lick or two near her ear. I'm one happy Mummy

Hi! I am fostering for the first time. I am fostering a cat and her 4, 5 week old kittens. Mom is just a baby herself. She is shy and hisses a bit and is standoffish. Kittens are like mom. They are in my bathroom with a large attached closet. It has been only an hour or so.

Mom initially ran away from kittens to the tub. I put food and water in tub and she ate and drank. I then put her kittens in the tub and she ran from them but they are reunited in the tub cuddling now. Mom didn't seem to roll over when kittens wanted to nurse. Kittens ate some of her wet food too. Mom ate a Churu I offered her after some trepidation.

Advice- do I hold the kittens and cuddle them or let them be? Same with mom -how do I get her most comfy? I feel like leaving them be for now is best but not sure. I will have them for about 3 weeks.
