Yes, most cats will. In fact, a lot of placental mammals will eat the placenta just after the offspring is born. This gives the mother extra nutrients she greatly needs after giving birth, but also to get rid of the evidence and smell as to not attract predators.

Did you hurt the mom cat by throwing away kitten placentas?
