She must be weaning it. Mother cats to that sometimes, like your mother might have made you go outside when you were bothering her. The older the kittens get, the sharper their tiny teeth get, so when they nurse their mother pushes them away now and then because they hurt her. This is very common; don't worry, they will be okay.

What animals mother is a cat?
Kitten
What to give a cat that's born and there mother dies?
Pet stores sell KMR Kitten Milk Replacer and kitten-sized baby bottles. I think Walmart has it too. Also, never feed a kitten or cat regular milk. Especially an adult cat. It can ruin their digestive system and kill them.
Would your current cat kill a new kitten?
No
My cat sort of bites licks and drags my new 6-week old kitten Is this normal?
Yes! If a cat starts to create a bond with a young kitten, then they will take on the mother figure. And most mother cats will drag their kittens around. So it is completely normal! :-) Hope I helped!
How long will a mother cat mourn for the death of a kitten?
usually a week or so during mourning it cries out loudly making human voices
Will a mother cat kill one of her kittens if she knows it has something wrong and it is dying anyway?
No, this will not happen. There are only a few, firmly defined, instances where the mother cat's instincts tell her to abandon or drive away her own kittens. How a mother cat treats her kittens is a function of what stage her hormones are in following the birth, combined with her environmental cues. If there are conditions of stress. the mother will drive away her kittens as they grow, so they can establish their own hunting territories. If there is something wrong with one of the kittens, the mother will abandon them so a doomed kitten will not use up resources that will not help them.
