Chloe has decided that she doesnt like her 2 kittens(Freddie and Lucky) It is like she doesnt even know them,lol. She growls and hisses at them when she gets near them. How normal is that?? I mean they are her kittys, all though they are bigger than her now.

It is very normal. There is nothing to worry about
How old are the kittens? Has the mom or kittens been spayed yet? / If the kits are still younger - it is normal for the mom to show aggression towards the kittens at times- she is reinforcing the fact that they are weaned- and by pushing them away, she is encouraging them to be independant. It is normal for the mom to hiss, spit, and even smack them now and then after they've been weaned.

The kits are 6 mos old, and moms been spayed and Freddie has been fixed too. It kinda makes me sad because they are her babies,lol.
