Asked in Cat Behavior
Why would your cat kill and eat her kittens when they were about 2 weeks?

Some mother cats do this for many reasons, sometimes it's
because the kittens are ill/deformed... or if someone has been
handling the kittens and then the mother can smell their scent on
them In both cases it is natural instinct. If the mother cat smells
quite different scent in her kittens, she may think kill them for
protection. If the kittens are ill/deformed, she also eats them
before they die and bring diseases to the rest of kittens. Also
dying kittens or dead kitten corpse marks the smell for the
predators to notice where she lives.

Can kittens carry diseases?
Asked in Cat Behavior
Why do mother cat kill there kittens?

They do that to their disabled kittens , because in nature they
won't be able to survive . It's also because if that sick/disabled
kitten dies around where she is nursing other kittens, it can bring
diseases and predators to other surviving kittens. Best thing in
the wild is for mother to eat the dying kitten and provide more for
the rest.

Can cats with kittens be in heat?

This usually depends on how old the kittens are and the
individual mother cat. Usually a female cat will come back into
season after her current kittens are weaned. However, some cats'
cycles can start again when her kittens are still very young, and
some will not come into heat again for many months after the
kittens are weaned.
