Sparrow's Nightmare's are born in our sleeping-room - for our peace of mind:-) !


"Siesta" ... Geordie with his girls and a few babies on our bed.

For the mothers there is a roomy baby box for raising   their babies during their first month (made from untreated natural wood - see photo on the right) which measures: length: 39.37 inches (1.00 metre)/depth: 23 inches (0.60 metre)/height: 15 inches (0.40 metre).


Baby box



Baby box for the first four weeks of life. If my cats have babies, I'm sitting many hours together with them in this box - so the babies will be very people oriented.



Playpen




Playpen for one week (between the fourth and fifth
week of life)

Around the fourth week the babies can climb independently out of the baby box. At this point of time we place them in a self-made playpen. Here they can play, climb and to be house-trained. When they are five weeks old, they take over the rest of the house, except the children´s bedrooms and our bathroom. they chase after the children, the adult cats and of course the dog. Running up and down the stairs of our two storey house gives them plenty of exercise! Unfortunately the few weeks until they go to their new homes  are always much too short!

Our babies are doubly inoculated and treated regularly, preventively against endoparasites/ectoparasites, before they leave us at the age of 14 to 16 weeks. An earlier seperation from their mother could cause irreparable damage- concerning the social behavior and immune system -   in a young cat and is irresponsible.

Our adult cats have the  use a roomy cat-balcony. In the morning at 4.30 o'clock the sparrows stir in their nest under the roof and 78 inches (two metre) below there are  the Sparrow's Nightmares, hoping in vain that one of the feathered "friends" will join them! :-))). By evening they will  made plentiful "spoil" in the  form of moths and other crawly creatures - also a hunting success.
