Did you know the cats outside are pregnant?
Update from previous post https://lemmy.world/post/31284240
The scrungly baby we scooped up filled out nicely, but kept going. We've found her a forever home, but it looks like that'll be on hold for a while.
Unrelated, but if anyone wants some kittens, I know a guy.
Edit: she has a whole bedroom to herself and we've set up several nesting boxes with towels but she doesn't seem interested. Any suggestions so I can avoid having her pop under my bed?

No wonder she was scarfing down two cans in one go, she's eating for multiples! Good luck resisting the temptation to keep a kitten... or two...
We do plan to keep one. We decided not to keep her specifically because of how difficult it would be to introduce her to our cats, but a kitten should be easier for them to accept.
I'm looking forward to your tales of the young upstart bringing a new flavour of chaos to The Council!
Cat distribution system working well haha
They tend to look for darker, sheltered spaces, with little "traffic". We've "had" outdoor cats and our garage under the potato shelf was a favourite spot, but others we wouldn't see again until they come over with their babies in tow.
Maybe try adding a medium sized box, on its side, next to a wall and facing another wall, with some rags/blankets inside.
If the room is too open she may still not be comfortable, try adding some more "hiding"/cover spots around and break up the open space.
Like, consider if a dog got in and went for her babies, does she have options for safety around?
