So I have a young orange tabby cat who just had her first kitten two weeks ago. My cat is only about 1 and a half years old and a first time momma. She is mostly indoor but was an indoor-outdoor cat. I have noticed that she still likes to go outside but that leaves the kitten on its own. She will sometimes be gone for a while and if she is not let in by sunset she stays outside, by choice. I have noticed recently that she will get riled up and then go lay down with the kitten. When she is hyper and riled up she will hold the kitten with her paws and put the kitten's entire head in her mouth. I have stopped this both times I have seen it because I am worried that she will injure the kitten given that it is so young. Is this something that is just natural for her to do or should I be worried? And will she purposely hurt the kitten?
