Good thing she only needs to take care of them for ~6-9 months. Until then though...

I found my kittens at 2 months and 1.5 months. They had been abandoned by their respective feral moms. They're now around 5 months old.

What should their mom had been doing all this time? Feeding them, maybe? Teaching them how to hunt?

By the time I got them, they were both allowed to eat solid food. I never had to give them milk. But now I'm wondering whether they're lacking something important in their lives :(

Because they at least have each other they can learn boundaries that way, but they’ll probably struggle a little interacting with new cats.

I'll take that into account! Thanks!
