um, @Zigzagoon I guess?

Well, heres the thing

I've been raising 5 kittens these past few months. A stray cat I adopted was actually preggers, I couldn't bring myself to take the cat to get spayed and eliminate the babies. So I bypassed the free surgery so she could have her babies

they are now 10 weeks old

but as of right now, I have 8 cats in my house. The original 2, the mama, and now her 5 babies

there will be time for pictures later btw

but anyways, I believe 10 weeks is a decent age to separate them from their mother, I've been thinking about giving a couple of them away.

however, the thought of tearing this family apart is whats tearing me apart. These kittens start wailing if they're in another room with the door closed because they're not with their siblings\mother

I can't imagine what they'll be like if they don't have access to them at ALL

I know animals don't think like us. I know they do love each other, and I do know the mother will eventually start treating them like roommates instead of her babies, but I'm more concerned about the siblings. Will the cats miss each other? Will they feel sadness about this?

I know I'm probably thinking too hard about this but I've grown attached to them and I know they're attached to each other, so I want this to be as painless as possible
