I'm sorry to say this but if the mother cat chewed the heads of her kittens, you may consider putting her down. that is like a cannibal cat. i wouldn't recommend getting a small dog but rather a bigger dog than the cat and make sure it isn't threatened by the cat, because i have seen a alsatian about 5 years old, running away from a 2 month old kitten.
