If you do end up giving her up for adoption, I would be adopting out to somebody willing to put a cat pen in their back yard to keep her safe. A free running cat is a dead cat. Maybe not in a year, but eventually it's chances of living a full life dwindle.

I have yet to have had a momma cat who wanted to be far from her kittens. Out of the kitten box, yes, but they have all preferred to be in eyesight of their kittens.

I have to agree with Winston, this sounds like an "I'm in heat type of behaviour".



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to barn cat, unless its a cat that has been born into that lifestyle, trained by it's momma and is in it's established territory. That poor cat will have to make a territory for itself by fighting off the current cats. That is just cruel in my books and could lead to a very slow, drawn out death.
I was given a cat that was found living outside it was not a feral cat. I end up letting her live outside as she was so unhappy being a cat house. She was spayed too and that did not help. I still fed her and took her to the vet as needed . Then what should be done if the cat hate being a house cat?
It would be horrible to put her in a shelter , I think if the right person had a barn and no others cats it would work out.

Newt looks part Siamese and they're know for being very loud and bossy cats . This could be part of the reason she is so talkative. She is a beautiful cat and and the kittens are so cute.
