My Cat Being Aggressive Towards Her Kitten

[Kaitocattos]

My cat Kaito was a stray that my dad has picked off the streets, since July 29 and since my dad has money problems he wasnt able to get the cat spayed now she had her kitten this march 6 she was taking very good care of her, after 4 days she started to overclean herself and her kitten especially her butt leaving it really red. Last night I was keeping an eye on Kaito then I saw a weird red drop on the blanket after that day in the morning it was blood coming from the side of the kittens tail where Kaito licks her too much! How do I stop her from doing that? [I'm getting them both spayed soon]

Can you post a picture, so we can see what you mean? Specially from the side of the kitten, where the blood is coming from.

Has the kitten been gaining well? It is best to weight him/her every day, on the same time, to get a nice overview of her weightgain. Also, is it mom's first litter? How is her (moms) behavior and health?

Please apply vaseline or olive oil or coconut oil to the kitten’s bottom to prevent rash.

Is mom getting enough to eat?

Mom is spayed when her kitten is 8 weeks old. Kitten is also spayed at 8 weeks and at least 2 pounds.

Here was the best shot I could take of her kitten. Yes this is her first litter and she had only one kitten. Her mother's behaviour is pretty good before she had her kitten she was well behaved and sweet how she has gotten a little tougher, her health is also going good. Im not sure of the kittens weight since we dont have something to weigh her and my parents are tough on spending stuff on the cats

I am just going to say that you are a very sweet and adorable person Don't worry, what you see is poop. Kittenpoop. The color will improve when she (it's a girl!) start eating solid food and will also thicken.

Thanks i was getting really worried, she does have a little cut on the side which is hard to see but I applied Vaseline to it so it can heal

On the side of her paw? I think I do see it. Keep a good eye on it. It might get infected

Hey another question when can the kitten start eating food instead of milk?

I feel bad not saying this but thank you so much for helping me out I was very confused

Kittens begin to try soft pate-style food between 4-6 weeks.
