I get off early tomorrow and have friday off so maybe i can try to interact with them. Maybe if I buy a cat toy or something she will come around to play. If I could pet the mom then I know I could get to the kittens. I dont want to take the kittens from their mom though. I dont want them to be sad. Anyway, thanks again. Our neighbor dog was back there messing with them and I heard him yelping so Mommy cat was attacking him! I'm going to keep Buddy away for now because I know he doesnt like cats. Guess we will see what happens in the next few days.
She just needs to realize that she can trust you. She is used to having to survive on her own, and having babies makes her more defensive.
I have taken in a lot of stray cats, what I usually do is little by little try to let them come to me. I'll put food out while they are watching me, and usually they are so eager to eat that they will inch their way towards me, it can be a slow process, but once they realize you aren't going to hurt them they will come around.
