My cat (first time mum) had four kittens four days ago. All has been going well until last night when she started acting strange... She was restless and in and out of the box where the kittens were, mewing and squeaking at the kittens (never heard this before) I left her to it after a quick check. This morning I woke up to an empty kitten box..... panic!
Ran downstairs and mum and the kittens were on the rug, kittens scattered at random, not all curled up as usual, three of them were fine, but the biggest kitten was dead, he looked as if his tail and bum had been chewed! I moved the dead kitten, and left the others alone whilst i dealt with the dead kitten ( i have a 4 year old daughter, not a nice sight for her obviously) came back and mum had relocated the surviving kittens to under the table. She's still seems fine and happy, I'm just confused to what could have made her do this, is seems so strange, and as I said, this one was the biggest of the litter and seemed fine. Anyone got any ideas??
