How long should should you wait to pet a cats babies?
It's best to wait at least 2-4 weeks before trying to handle or pet a cat's newborn kittens.

Approaching the kittens too soon can disrupt the bonding process and lead to the mother rejecting her babies.
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.
Mother cat and the kittens have diarrhea?
At one time or another every cat has a bout of vomiting or diarrhea. Usually they have eaten something disagreeable, eaten too much or too fast, are overly excited or nervous, have hairballs, or their body is reacting to any of a number of other non-serious conditions. however if both mother cat and kittens have had it for more than a day especially if they are also not eating very well, in many cases kittens have passed on due to lack of hydration or had to be ''put down'' by the vet as there is nothing they can do. if your cat/kittens does have vomiting and diarrhoea happen then you should immediately take the mother cat and the kittens to do vet, they will give the kittens antibiotics for 3 days to keep their temperature normal and also give wormers for the mother cat and whatever you do, do not this the problem is temporary and will cure itself. A Adult cat has the immune system to survive fevers and high temperatures but kittens do not especially if they are under 10 weeks old
What do you do if your cat has his kittens outside and you cant find them?
Well, usually the mother cat tries to hide her babies so that no one (animals, ect.) can get them, and harm them, so, unless the mother cat is dead, or you know for sure that she isn't taking care of her babies, then I wouldn't worry too much, but you should always keep an eye out for them. And sometimes the mother cat might even move the kittens to a new place.
Will mother cats take care of their kittens if touched by humans?
The real question is, is the cat yours? Are you close to the cat, and does she trust you. She will NOT kill the kitten, but she may bite or scratch you if sh is not familiar with you. She will allow people she is close to to handle the kittens from the day they are born. Unless you are sure the cat is close to you (emotionally) than the best advice is to give the mama cat and her new babies some space.
