I need your advice on a wild kitten that seems to be having some problems. A cat wild cat family lives in my outside washroom. There is the momma cat, daddy cat and I think 4 babies around 3-4 weeks old. Today was the first time I have seen them but started hearing them a few weeks ago. 3 of the babies seem healthy to me cause they seem to be very alert and play with each other but the 4th kitten I noticed didn't come out of my wash room on its own, I saw the momma cat go in and literally have to take it out in her mouth. She took it close to where the others were playing but kept it a distance from the others. What I am concerned about is the 4th kitten is a tad bit smaller then the others and can not walk to well and is shivering. When it walks it seems to move a little but then one of its legs just gives out and it falls. Momma seems to be keeping the daddy from getting too close to it as if she is protecting it from the daddy. Should I intervene or let nature take its course.
