I don't really have an answer, just experience with my own cats. Sometimes if one is sick and dying, she would move it to the side or outsid the box. I have one that deliveed a kitten into my hand, licked up and then sat on it and bite the hell out of my when I tried to move her. I have some mothers totally abandon their kittens and think it is weird they are around. Normally when the kittens are older the Moms will kinda isolate and try to run off the male kittens. I watched nature programs about lions, tigers,etc and they do the same thing with their young as domestic cats do so I don't really know what and why they do that. Maybe this will help. Answer I'm not professional and I haven't seen any cat delivering kittens. But I heard, although it does depend on the mother's personality, it's the natural instinct for mother to separate kittens. The mother will go through the kittens and pick the healthy ones to keep and other ones to abandon, because there's only limited milk supply. Even if the mother's being fed well at home, she'll simulate this behavior of survival of the fittest. Some mother cats linger longer than some others do to protect their kittens (and some would just simply abandon them), then chase them off when they're old enough. I've also heard it's also because they can be rivals in mating season as well. Cats can get pregnant and become mommy after about a year and couple months, I hear... So I guess mommy can't doesn't quite take care of kittens longer than couple months usually.

∙ 12y agoI am a veterinarian, BTW. Moms move their kittens because they don't feel the kittens are safe where they are. It may be the brood is being disturbed by nosey humans or animals, it may too cold or hot, the nest may be infested with fleas. Mother knows best, don't interfere unless you feel she is making a bad decision - like the dryer.
