Why does the mom cat attack her kitten after the kitten was spayed?

A cat that is aggressive after being spayed may be experiencing post-operative pain. She may also be trying to adjust to the change in hormones. If the problem continues, have your vet check her for physical problems related to the spaying.

∙ 14y agoI don't have a kitten right now (but im trying to get one) but I did have three cats before and I believe that whats happening is that when the kitten was spayed the hormonal chemicals in the kitten were mostly taken out of the kitten which made the kittens scent change dramatically. There for the kitten has a totally different scent and believe it or not nice cat or mean cats every cat is at least a little territorial about their space. So when the momma cat saw this "new cat" in her space she grew aggressive and began to attack to show the kitten that this was here own space. Cats don't remember different things threw sight the remember things threw smell and once that smell came out of the kitten it was like a new cat came into her territory and shes showing her or him who's boss. Hope I helped you a lot and if you want the momma cat to start liking the kitten again start introducing to momma to the kitten each day, every day, and increase the time spent together each day if it goes well. If its not going well just start from day one (Keep on doing the routine of day one) slowly but surely the momma cat might get used to the kitten and act like its the mother again or the momma might not like the kitten but will soon learn that the kitten has to live there. =) hope that's useful love hope2getacatgrl<333

Not really. The mother cat will usually eat the kitten placentas and will, as a result, get back a small amount of the protein she has expended in creating the kittens. But there is nothing special about the placentas, and depriving the mother cat of them will not hurt her.

What is the normal sequence for items being expelled when cat gives birth to three kittens?
You'll first see a bulging sac begin to protrude. Do not intervene. Mom cat will be licking herself. She will puncture the sac. She will bear down until she pushes the kitten out. Mom cat should instinctively begin eating and chewing the sac to remove it-- yes gross, but let her. If she's a first time mom, you might need to pull the sac off the kitten's face. It's slimy and bloody--just wash your hands later. LET mom do the cleaning unless she totally won't do it. She will lick to stimulate the kitten to breathe. Then, the whole thing repeats. Put kitten near mom's belly---do NOT touch it a lot. Leave her be-- instincts are amazing.
