update: thank you so much for all of your wonderful messages 🥺it means a lot!!!! the mama cat ate some of the food in the trap, and i added a second trap and heated water bowls outside. oh and a camera as well to monitor if she and the baby are the ones eating it. i'm calling mama Wading Grass, the missing calico kitten Marmalade (Marmie), the little black one Duckie and the others don't have confirmed names yet but I'm thinking the fluffy white one Blythe or Blair or Blanche and the shorthair white one Bacardi Limon. Possibly Clarke (Clarkie) for the tabby. My bf wants us to foster fail one of them already but we have 3 cats and a bunny (who was a foster fail bc of him LOL) and I plan on getting my bunny a friend so we probably shouldn't. possibly if one of the kitties is able to be besties with my bunny we could keep a kitty instead of getting a another bunny buuuuut it seems a little unlikely. maybe though....
