New mum moving just one kitten

I wasnt sure if she was trying to kill it or not,its the same kitten and she moved her to the corner of the room on a hard floor,I put the kitten back again and she seemed like she was biting it,looked agressive the way she was trying to get hold of her,the thing is she ony moved one,is she trying to kill it?

I seperated them for a bit and will put them together soon

Have you taken mama cat to the vet yet? From what i have heard, this is a sign that something is wrong, that maybe mama feels she cant take care of it, not enough milk? does that kitten have a nice round belly? Is she suckling?

An expert will come here soon to answer your question. Keep us updated.

she just came home from the vets 1 hour ago

oh and she had been feeding it well

she was trying to kill them,my neighbour just went through this a year ago and hand reared her 4 kittys,she say with Opal and saw her trying to bite the babies head off and arms so she has agreed to take her while I am away and hand rear them,Opal totally stopped feeding them,my neighbour has all the equimpment and has experience with it,Opal didnt care about me taking them,she was just kicking and hissing at them

oh my gosh so sorry to hear that. I am happy you have someone who can take care of it. Good luck and hope everything turns out well for you.

Thanks,they are now taking the forumula,I had to a get kiddies medicing syringe,Ive been round my neoighbours off and on and saw one feeding well,it took a while for them to get used to it,

She didnt like the noise of my house,my house is a noisy house with three little boys,the neighbour who was looking after the kittys said I could bring Opal around hers for a bit,and she took to them again straight away we worked out she hates noise,im hoping it is just because she had a truamatic delivery,as im away she will stay there until Sunday,the kittens perked up as soon as she fed them again,Opal seemed happy with her new surroundings

So I need to know,if I move her on Sunday (ill need to) will that cause problems? Im going to clear out my cuboard so she can have a lot of peace,but im wondering if what ive done is the best for her in the long run?

Since you are handraising the kittens, it may be a good idea to get Opal spayed sooner rather than later. Is she in an interior room?? If she goes back into heat she may try to get back out..and believe me...you don't want to have to make a choice between spaying her while she is pregnant again or having to go through another c section.

BTW...you have been a very good owner to Opal and in her own way, I'm sure she appreciates all you have done.
