Cats and other animals smell genitals because the aroma is an identifying mark. They may be checking to see if the kittens belong to them or a mate.
Cats are just like every other animals. Like how people shake hands, cats smell each others genitals. This is very normal, kind of like a hello.
make sure you give your older cat plenty of alone time without the kittens -with you. your older cat may be feeling replaced with a newer version of herself. I had a Siamese who would hide under my bed until i locked the kittens out of my room for the night.
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.
My client witnesses a hermaphrodite cat have kittens, it looks mostly male from the outside but delivered kittens.
'with two kittens' describe the cat. So, you should write 'is sleeping'. But if you mean that all three of them are sleeping, write 'A cat and his two kittens are sleeping'.
A mean one ;( A cat will usually not eat her babies. If one is dead, she will eat that one, to avoid attracting predators and other toms who will come if they smell them. In the wild, the toms will kill and possibly eat the kittens if they are not his, so that the next kittens the queen has will be his, but otherwise, cats do not eat kittens.
Yes. When a cat is about to have kittens, there is a certain smell, and other cats can smell this.
It is perfectly normal for a cat to have only two kittens. Sometimes a cat will have only one kitten. Usually a cat will have fewer kittens in her first litter, and when she is older she will have a larger litter.
older cats dont go well with kittens,the older cat wants to relax...the kitten wants to play.....then that leads up to a fight

She can have as many kittens as she wants. It would be better to stop breeding her at an older age because the older the cat is when it has kittens, the more problems could occur.
This varies by breed but with any breed the litters will start to get smaller as the cat becomes older.
Yes, they can. It can take time, though.
Feed your cat some good food and it should stop. Its best to just wait it out or go to the vet.

The don't have to hate at all! It very much depends on the cat and kitten. My older cat treated my new kitten as her own.
