sometimes the mom will ignore her least healthy one because she knows she will only have enough milk for the rest, also sometimes people will start to pick up the kitens too soon, she may drag them to another place in the house, or if she does NOT like the smell of the person who picked them up, she will also ignore that particular kitten.

∙ 15y agoIf the kittens are more than a month and a half old , the time has come for them to get independent and she won't nurse them anymore that is why she is hissing. The mother cat is also hissing at them because they need to become independent out there without her care anymore. It's one way to scare them away from herself since the kittens naturally trusted their mother to be caretaker at first. Also, it is to scare them away from her living spot. when she sees her kittens a year or two later, she won't remember them because cats can give birth as often as 4 times a year, it's too much to remember after awhile.

∙ 13y agoyour cat hates you maybe b/c
- you annoy him ( sometimes i do that to my cat and he starts meowing)
You have to gentle and learn what he likes to eat, to play, even take him outside a little. Be GENTLE, esp with cats. Most cats do not care about their owners and just want some time to sleep, eat and play. Hug it but dont be rough and always be gentle with it :)

What animal wails?
When a mother cat is separated from her kittens she will have a lamenting cry. This cry will last for approximately one week.
Why would a feral mother cat eat one of her two month old kittens?
The mother cat's behavior is completely normal. Kitten corpses cannot lay around because of the potential for disease and attracting other predators. Survival instincts and maternal instinct to protect her other kittens wins on this one.
Will mother cats take care of their kittens if touched by humans?
The real question is, is the cat yours? Are you close to the cat, and does she trust you. She will NOT kill the kitten, but she may bite or scratch you if sh is not familiar with you. She will allow people she is close to to handle the kittens from the day they are born. Unless you are sure the cat is close to you (emotionally) than the best advice is to give the mama cat and her new babies some space.

Will you get a n orange kitten if you breed a tabby cat and a orange cat?
orange is sex linked dominate, a female orange cat will almost always have a few orange kittens, and a male orange cat can have orange daughters --- If the orange one is the mother, all the male kittens will be orange. If the orange is the father, you wont get any ginger kittens but you will get tortoiseshell female kittens.

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.
Mother cat and the kittens have diarrhea?
At one time or another every cat has a bout of vomiting or diarrhea. Usually they have eaten something disagreeable, eaten too much or too fast, are overly excited or nervous, have hairballs, or their body is reacting to any of a number of other non-serious conditions. however if both mother cat and kittens have had it for more than a day especially if they are also not eating very well, in many cases kittens have passed on due to lack of hydration or had to be ''put down'' by the vet as there is nothing they can do. if your cat/kittens does have vomiting and diarrhoea happen then you should immediately take the mother cat and the kittens to do vet, they will give the kittens antibiotics for 3 days to keep their temperature normal and also give wormers for the mother cat and whatever you do, do not this the problem is temporary and will cure itself. A Adult cat has the immune system to survive fevers and high temperatures but kittens do not especially if they are under 10 weeks old
What do you do if your cat has his kittens outside and you cant find them?
Well, usually the mother cat tries to hide her babies so that no one (animals, ect.) can get them, and harm them, so, unless the mother cat is dead, or you know for sure that she isn't taking care of her babies, then I wouldn't worry too much, but you should always keep an eye out for them. And sometimes the mother cat might even move the kittens to a new place.

Will a cat neglect kittens if touched by humans?
You can touch the kittenI wouldn't think so, as the cat around my house just had kittens and I held them from day one. Just be very cautious and respect that they are new babies, No. A cant willnot neglect kittens handled by humans and it will not make the kittens eyes sore, either. Kittens handled by humans lovingly, will most likely make nicer pets.Naomi Babcock :as long as the mother is your cat i can tell you there won't be any problems. all three times I've had a mother cat with kittens i touched, pet, and held them from day one.In fact, with my last cat, i had to help her break open the birth sacks, poor girl was too tired.if the mother cat belongs to you, she knows your scent and your taste (yes, she tastes you when she cleans herself after you pet her) and she will not have any bad response to this smell and taste being on her babies
