You DON'T. The cat is acting on instinct. The cat would not understand why she was being punished, because cats don't reason the way humans do. She would just think you were being mean, and would become afraid of you and maybe bite and scratch you.

What is a nanny cat?

A "nanny cat' is a queen who is already nursing a litter of kittens that she birthed and if she takes on kittens orphaned from another litter to nurture and raise with her litter, she is called the "nanny."

Will a mother cat kill one of her kittens if she knows it has something wrong and it is dying anyway?

No, this will not happen. There are only a few, firmly defined, instances where the mother cat's instincts tell her to abandon or drive away her own kittens. How a mother cat treats her kittens is a function of what stage her hormones are in following the birth, combined with her environmental cues. If there are conditions of stress. the mother will drive away her kittens as they grow, so they can establish their own hunting territories. If there is something wrong with one of the kittens, the mother will abandon them so a doomed kitten will not use up resources that will not help them.
