advice.....and update!!!

Good morning, well, it's been about 10 days since Emily had her babies, they are just starting to open their eyes now. I have to say, they are beautiful little babies, we have fallen in love with them all!! We love to watch them as they are trying to walk and wobbling and falling down, its hilarious!! As you may, or may not know our story, Emily was "put out" by a neighbor, and she had been outside for about 2 months until I coaxed her into my home. When we brought her to the vet we found she was pregnant. We also have two boy cats, Sam and Qunuk, who have become very close- they love to snuggle together and groom each other....anyway, we have successfully kept them away from the kittens, and Emily has limited contact with them- we can keep them in the upstairs part of the house and the boys down. My problem is this....Im not sure that I can keep all three cats...God, I hate to even say that because I truly love all of them...Emily has become so trusting and she is such a sweet and graceful girl...while one of my boys is a rotten brat but sooo loving and my oldest is just a fat cat....they all have such great personalities but I find myself doing nothing but cleaning litter boxes and feeding cats....mainly its the litter boxes...between the two boys I clean their box out daily, sometimes twice a day and completely wash with soap and water twice a week, and Emily's box upstairs isnt so bad but still gets cleaned often. If anyone has any help in this area to alleviate some of this chore then I can maybe consider keeping all three but right now Im overwhelmed with poop duty and feel like the only way I can handle it is to give one away.....but who? HELP!!! Thanks, Stephanie

Hi Stephanie.
I've never been a big fan of liners. It seems that the cats just tear through them and it makes cleaning the litter box harder.
