Usually when a cat has her kittens, the male may be confused, and even scared of her kits. He will wonder: What the heck? Suddenly, one of my 102 wives produced mini me's!! The behavior of the tom (or toms, if more than one male mated with the she-cat) will vary, and eventually, the tom will learn to accept the kits as just another cat in the house. Sometimes, though, the father will try to attack the kittens, so I suggest keeping the mother and kits in the same place she birthed them until they are grown enough to defend themselves.

Do cats kill the newborn kittens if they go in heat gain?

A cat won't go into heat if she's nursing. If a male cat sees a female cat with kittens he will probably kill all the kittens to force the female into heat. (Siamese cats don't do this, nor do males who live in catteries.) IT is hello


Why would your cat kill and eat her kittens when they were about 2 weeks?

Some mother cats do this for many reasons, sometimes it's because the kittens are ill/deformed... or if someone has been handling the kittens and then the mother can smell their scent on them In both cases it is natural instinct. If the mother cat smells quite different scent in her kittens, she may think kill them for protection. If the kittens are ill/deformed, she also eats them before they die and bring diseases to the rest of kittens. Also dying kittens or dead kitten corpse marks the smell for the predators to notice where she lives.

Yes, occasionally tomcats can kill kittens, especially if they perceive them as a threat to their territory or if they are competing for resources like food or mates.

A cat with two kittens are sleeping or A cat with two kittens is sleeping.?

'with two kittens' describe the cat. So, you should write 'is sleeping'. But if you mean that all three of them are sleeping, write 'A cat and his two kittens are sleeping'.

Should I keep the father cat away from newborn kittens?

It is generally recommended to keep the father cat away from newborn kittens, as he may not have a strong bond with them and could potentially harm or even kill them. It is best to provide a safe and quiet space for the mother cat and her kittens to bond and thrive without any interference from the father cat.


Are kittens a predator or a prey?

Yes. Kittens hunt and kill bugs, and will also hunt mice while being instructed in that skill by their mother cat. When they are doing that, they are predators. Larger carnivores, such as dogs, hawks, and rats, will hunt and kill kittens. When that is going on, they are prey.


Why to not spay cats?

If you spay your cat, you are making sure your cat doesn't have kittens. If you want kittens to sell or give away to people, or just keep at home, then don't spay your female cat. Birth is a very exciting thing, and you'll have mini-copies of your cat running around the house! :) If you want kittens, make sure not to spay your cat. But females can only get spayed. When boy kitties can't have kittens, they are neutered. It takes a male and a female cat to have kittens. But when there are kittens, make sure the male stays away, maybe in the other part of the house, or in a big dog excercise pen, or somewhere where he can't get to the kittens. Or he'll kill them to be with his mate, the female cat. Good luck with your kittens!

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.
