mother cat

[kittylover]

My cat had her first litter of kittens nearly 5 months ago and we have kept 3 of her kittens all females, it now appears that she is having another litter. The problem is that when she walks into the room where her girls are she growls hisses and fights them, will this settle down or will she go elsewhere to have this litter????

[luckyeight]

Don't have an answer but don't you think you should get her spayed?

pls have your cat splayed after this set of kittens arrive and the new girls you already have otherwise you will be over run with cats and finding good homes for them all.Pls your cat's health will suffer if she keeps having litters and in time your house will really pong.
If you live in the London area Celis Hammond charity will do them free I believe.
Unless of course you are really well off and can afford all the cat food them tell me to mind my own, but you sound like a cat lover to me.

I read somewhere that one un-neutered cat can result in 2000 kittens over a period of time.

Unless you want to breed a cat or dog (pedigrees) then neutering should be encouraged.

please if you really are a kittylover, get your cat spayed... and all the female kittens that you've kept too.

i was told that "queens" only get on well with male cats?..... so sorry can't answer your question, but PLEASE get your cats spayed.

Hi from one kittylover to another kittylover, I really dont have an answer to solve your problem only that I totally agree with the other ABer's posts in that you really should have the 3 kittens and the mother cat spayed asp. I have 2 females and 1 male all of which have been spayed and neutered, micro chipped and have up to date inoculations, not cheap if you are a true pet lover to keep them in good health.

I'm not saying you are not a true pet lover but please be a little bit more responsible in your cats welfare as I have seen too many times on T.V. on Animal Programs where owners get so over run with cats "plus" dogs that the owners think they are coping with so many pets that they end up in rehoming centres, I get so up set seeing this happen for it's heart breaking to see the owers having to chose which one to keep and who's to go, and the bewildered look on the pets face's as they are carted off, after all its not the animals fault they didn't ask to be born, pleasr, please dont put yourself in this situation. X X X :-)

Kittylover or not, you can have too many cats, you know.

If you genuinely can't afford to get yout cats 'done', the Cats Protection or PDSA will assist.

Its probably a reaction that goes back to the days of being in the wild, lions still do it-they tend to turn against older kittens to try to get them to leave to make space for the new litter. As long as the older girls leave her alone for the first couple of weeks (and she'll make that pretty clear to them) then things should settle down in time.

[andy-hughes]

Retro dog is quite correct. Your queen doesn't see her kittens as her 'children' any more. Her instinct sees them as quens who are encroaching on her territory, so she is trying to establish her supremacy, which should all settle down eventually.
