What do you do when your cat cries after she had two kittens?
Answer: Have patience. She will calm down. She will cry if her kittens are taken away. If she doesn't have her kittens, give them back.
How will the mother cat act after kittens are taken away?
This really depends what age the kittens were when they were taken away. If the kittens were taken too early (6 to 10 weeks old), she will most likely look everywhere for them and try to figure out why they have been taken away. Sadly, too many kittens are taken away from their mothers too early, usually around 6 to 8 weeks old (some kittens aren't even weaned properly at that age). They have had no chance to learn what behaviour is good or bad, and behavioral problems will become apparent as the kitten gets older which, often, are difficult to correct. Mother cats will teach them many things during 8 to 12 weeks, and by 12-13 weeks most kittens are independent enough to be taken away without too much stress from the kitten or the mother cat.
Do queen cats miss their kittens when they are given away?

When do kittens from their mum?
Kittens get milk from the mom immediately. They move away from their mom for short periods between 4-6 weeks. By 6-8 weeks they can be taken away from their mom, such as for adoption. Kittens should be weaned before that time. Moms do weaning.
If a pregnant cat has rabies will its kittens have rabies if they are taken away from the mother at birth?
This is not certain. It depends on when the mother cat got rabies. If it is still in its early stages, the kittens may not catch it, but eventually the organism that causes rabies will migrate through the placenta and infect the kittens. The organism will, I believe, be passed in mother's milk, so if the kittens nurse, they most likely will become infected.

Will a five month old male kitten hurt 5 week old kittens?
Kittens taken away from their mother early tend to get attached to the human caring for them and will develop behaviours such as kneading, meowing for attention and inability to be left alone. They will lack good toilet manners and will not thrive well as they are no longer feeding off of mum. They tend to get sick easily from weak immune system (mothers milk helps to strengthen this usually). Hunting skills will be poor.
