The mother cat will instinctively hiss and try to keep its kittens away from it just to allow them to learn how to live alone, in case something happened to the mother, and to give them independence.
Its the mothers way of weaning her kitten. She's letting her kitten know it's time to move out of home, even though it seems like a simple push out the door! Cat's don't have the same love for their children as humans do, once the kitten is old enough to fend for itself, it becomes just another cat with which they have to compete for food and territory an mates. I guess in some circumstances they might remain friendly toward each other, maybe if you had the mother spayed? Answer: general info Yep, it's that good old shove out of the nest. Once the kitten begins to display more independence you should find that it's mum settles down and they become friends again. I even had a cat that used to babysit for the new babies when his mum was having a pee/food break from her 3rd litter. He thought it was fabulous and purred contentedly, the babies weren't too confused and mum had some quiet time away from them. In any case, I had 2 boys and I'd loved to have been able to hiss & spit at them and chase them away when they got old enough to look after themselves. In fact, I tried and they STILL came back home...!

Well, it depends. If the cat is hissing at you without a good reason, then you should correct them by saying no firmly and maybe shooing them away.

When this happens, don't correct her. Mother kitty knows best! :)
