Hi guys, long story short,

A mama cat I been feeding giving birth to 4 kittens and I barely located them in an abandon house near my house.

There is a small hole the mama cat use to go inside the nest, the hole was very small it only fit a adult cat size, so I was guessing the predator was most likely another cat.

I found them few days ago 4 kitten was very active and healthy day 15 of age. The mama cat usually back to the nest after I feed her

Just now I went to check them with mama cat but we found 2 dead body, 2 missing, blood was very very fresh, accident might happen just 3 hour max ago by guessing.

My question is where are the other 2 kittens?

I seriously check everywhere and on the floor I found a blood spot outside the small hole thought the nest, with some kitten brain, **** the predator

The 2 dead body was crashed only head area with obvious teeth bite mark, body or leg was perfectly fine. Both face is a mess so heartbreaking just looking at them.

Can't track anything else other than those little blood spot, 1 dead inside nest, 1 dead inside the small hole thought the nest, 2 missing no blood or body found everywhere nearby include the grass I check.

Mama cat milk is solid by guessing she stop nursing already around a day?? But the blood is very fresh that dead no more then few hour. I don't understand why!

Please give me suggestion, I'm so worry now and mad I hope the other 2 is still alive, I want to do anything asap to help them out.

I am so sorry this happened. There isn't much that can be done to find a kitten because they are so small and quiet. If you haven't found any sign of the other two kittens then they are most likely gone as well.  If they didn't have the warmth and food for their Mom for 24 hours they wouldn't last even if they survived the initial attack.   

It could have been any number of predators in the area. I know that I had a problem with foxes and raccoons in a relatively urban area when we had outdoor rabbits. Both can get into spaces much smaller than you would expect. The best thing you can do now is get the Mom spayed so it doesn't happen again.

I'm living in a big town, the abandoned house was new one just no one live in it,

Do have dog and monkey around because is near a lake, but the gate is impossible for dog to enter, and I don't think is monkey, because the bite mark is very sharp

I was planning to spay her but after the kitten wean, I already brought a lot of kitten stuff food any toys ready for them to be worm around 4 weeks.

Agree, judge by the mama cat solid milk, those kitten day 19 currently, might be gone even they survive or move by mama cat before the accident,

also now the mama cat is sitting outside my kitchen window again like the time she has no kitten.

Thanks for reply,

I don't even know what to do now, so upset

Worst thing is when I'm so sad but the mama cat act like nothing happen after a while of shock, rolling and laying on me just like she always does

Why can cat so cold blood, and can even attack own kind.

Please bring mama inside if you can and get her spayed as soon as possible. I'm so sorry for your loss.
