Yeah, I haven't had to deal with weaning kittens for a while, but isn't it usually about 8 weeks or so when they're weaned? 12 weeks seems unusual.

Yay! Does she ever go home with you or any of the other employees?

No. The land was her home, and she defended. Ran off every cat except her son. Whenever someone came on the property when no one was there, she watched them like a hawk. If boss showed up, she would take him to where the person is. Momma kitty caught several thieves.

The family photos are awesome! I'm impressed that you can tell the three non black ones apart.. is it usual for kittens to keep nursing after 12 weeks?
It's easy to spot the longer hair one apart, the two short hair ones are difficult/managable based on distance and light. The one with a spot is very dark overall except for the orange spot on the back/chest. The other is the brightest overall of the four and more of a sandstone/orange. So it's difficult, but I've gotten used to using uniformity vs darker/stark spot. They also have polar opposite personalities with one being super docile/quiet and the other very flighty/vocal.

As for the nursing/weaning... yeah, they're supposed to be fully weaned by 8-10. They been eating solid/dry food, wet food, and prey they find in the yard, but for some reason even at 13 weeks now they're occasionally nursing. Even the clinic and another place were very confused/surprised. So it's very likely she's either got another litter in the works causing the lactating or just... very generous.

As for why we haven't gotten the mother spayed yet, it's because we tried for 4 weeks to trap her, she's too smart and even called the kittens away from the trap. You can pet/rub her, but picking her up is one of those "you might lose an arm doing it" deals. We did TNR the tom that was claiming and banging everything in this location, so there's that.

That's so cool - always wanted a guard cat! What's her son's temperament like?

*It's also not that we're mistaking the age either. She started coming around for 1-2 weeks prior, noticed she was kinda bulging and suspected pregnant. Suddenly disappeared for 1-2 days and came back without the obvious pregnancy bulge. Older neighbor had me investigate meowing under their house that occured during the absence. She had em in a neighbor's shed, moved em 1 house further way, then brought them to us and decided it was good enough as they've been here for 2 months.

As for why we haven't gotten the mother spayed yet, it's because we tried for 4 weeks to trap her, she's too smart and even called the kittens away from the trap. You can pet/rub her, but picking her up is one of those "you might lose an arm doing it" deals. We did TNR the tom that was claiming and banging everything in this location, so there's that. There's also 2 completely different neighbors with feral kittens younger than these, so there's gonna be cats everywhere.

It's great that you tried- I had mixed results with ferals around my last apartment too. How certain are you that she is pregnant again?

Not by much, I just know it's a possiblity/concern. All I know is she's nursing them past the usual age range for drying up, and she has a slight bulge that could just as well be fat/organs. So she's either got more in the works or just suspicious.

I can rub/feel/press on her sides, but don't want to over do it or cause any harm.

It's Mereoleona's birthday! ...or, rather, it's the birthday of the fictional character I named her after and, given that she was an elderly stray, I have no idea when her birthday actually is.

She's eleven now! Maybe! Again, I have no idea how old she might actually be, but the get guessed at least ten.

Alpha male. He runs other cats off and is a lady killer, but his momma is the only one he does not bother.

Well, she is going home tomorrow. The boss is going to pick her up from the vet and take her his new house and watch her and make sure she is still progressing.

I get so jealous when I see other people's cats snuggling. I think Mereoleona would snuggle other cats, but Archie is just a complete butthole who slaps every animal that isn't him.

These two are absolutely precious though. The one on the bottom is totally using the other as a pillow.

I know I'm trying.
His food (science hills) recommends 100g per day - WAY TOO MUCH
I put him down to 65g a few months ago and he's still gaining weight.
This week I've changed it to 50g.
Yes I weigh his food every morning.
Im trying... I want him to be a healthy boy

Honestly, yeah. He was never cuddly with my old cat Tuffy and would try to fight him. It was embarrassing, but Tuffy (geriatric and declawed) would beat him up about half the time. He did start to snuggle with Tuffy when he was... well, near the end of his life. He got very sick at the end and only then did Archie even come close to snuggling with him.

He's always hated other cats. He loses his shit when he sees other cats through the window. I tried to bring my neighbor's cat in (he had gotten out) and Archie started hissing at him. My friends brought a maybe six week old kitten over and Archie spent the entire hour it was here hissing at it or trying to sneak up and slap it. He's extremely sweet to people, but he just loathes other animals.

Haha it fits in a way! I remember one of the pictures you posted had him with a tie (I think) sitting in a position of authority that reminded me of a Victorian gentlemen... who very much did not want other children around.
