Cat Forum / General Topics / April 2005Momma cat doesn't like her kittens now
A stray I found had 4 kittens last August so they are 8 months now. She was a great mom and they nursed till they were probably 2 1/2 months and she let them. But now she hisses and growls at the 2 boys and one girl, but still grooms and sleeps w/the other girl. I feel so sorry for the other three, they seem so confused when she hisses at them. Any ideas why? She also sometimes just walks around growling. Last night she was the only cat in the basement w/me and she just kept growling. It increases a lot when I open the windows and she can smell outside. She acts like she got a mental problem. She's still likes us humans though.

Her job is over and she's probably just letting everyone know it. ;-) Stone Has she been spayed? For info visit this page: http://www.flippyscatpage.com/health.html and look under DESEXING.

Yes, she got spayed ASAP after kittens. All the kittens are spayed/neutered too. > Has she been spayed? For info visit this page: > http://www.flippyscatpage.com/health.html and look under DESEXING.

In this case I think she's probably just had enough of the kittens now. SignatureFlippy in Melbourne, Australia. My Cats: http://www.flippyscatpage.com > Yes, she got spayed ASAP after kittens.

We also had a stray that had kittens last year. I noticed that even now, at just a year old, the mom is sometimes distant from the kittens. We haven't experienced what you have -- the hissing and growling, but she many times wants to feel separate from the kittens. They on the other hand, still recognize her as mom, and always try to clump up against her. She is okay with it most of the time, but doesn't seek them out like they do to her. She is curled up with one of the kittens more than the others. Hope this is just a phase for your cat. Are there any new dogs of any other animals in the area? Have you petted another animal and then come in to the house? Good luck, Rhonda > A stray I found had 4 kittens last August so they are 8 months now.
