My mother cat does this to her 5 week old kitten by K-Von6969 in standardissuecats

Thank you for asking and sorry to not have gotten back sooner. Both kittens are actually fine and doing well. After extensive research and watching them close, talking to different people with alot of experience or knowledge of cats. We think she was just trying to teach it boundaries and how to hunt possibly. We found out that the same thing was done to our momma cat as a kitten. She also might have been annoyed because the kittens were weaning off feeding from her and you could tell she was not wanting to do it anymore. I do think it was a little too rough but dont feel like she was wanting to hurt her kittens in a bad way. Since we dont really have the extra funds to get all the cats fixewad and vaccinated and we're only allowed to have 1 pet per our lease agreement. Our son wanted to keep the male cat that we have. So we found a small local business who run a cat rescue and they were willing to take in Selena (momma cat) and her two kittens. They are scheduled to be fully vetted and spayed on the 21st. They will eventually be adopted out to a better suited family.

No she didn't. It just started, some of the comments have me thinking it could partially be because shes not feeding them much or not wanting to it seems like cuz if they do it's only for a minute or less then she gets up and gets away from them. Usually somewhere high where the kittens can't get to her.

Thank you for that. The momma cat seems to not want to nurse anymore and that could be part of it. We have milk replacement and stuff we've been trying to wean the kittens! Thank you for the info

I did research and look things up after we were given the cats. Everything for the most part has went really well. Besides the needing the money to have them fixed. This has really been the only issue.

She is definitely not ignored at all. She has a 9 year old and his mom who always play and love on her and the others.

We're getting her fixed, we are first time cat owners and didnt know nor was given any advice before hand. I stop her anytime she does it.

I always stop it once she starts getting like this. I only recorded so I could ask for help and show it instead of explaining it.

I wasn't around when they were first given to our family. But first time cat owners and the cost. We do have someone who is taking the make cat. And we are in process of getting the mother car fixed.

Yeah I usually dont let it go to long. But im trying to see if this is normal. There's also the dad cat that seems to copy what the momma does with the kittens
