none of the 3 cats should be alive today. The moma cat had her kittens in a storage trailer of mine and we couldn't locate where she had them when they were about 6 to 8 weeks old we found the remains of the mother cat in a field. then about 4 days later our dog was barking and circling something near the back of the trailer by the time we got to her she was herding 4 tiny kittens towards the house and had managed to move them about 100 feet by the time we reached her. I could hold all 4 of them in 1 hand. When they were about 3 months old one of them was stung or bitten by something and died. about a month later another was almost killed by a hawk. its left fore leg was almost de gloved and its chest was ripped open. I sutured the skin back on the best I could then we kept it wrapped now you can not tell it was ever wounded.
