is this normal for my cat she has got 5 week old kittens

[hardykat]

my cat had 4 kittens about 5 weeks ago and they are all walking fine i cant keep up with them half the time. when they go running about my kat does'nt really mind but every so often she will chase it and bite it really hard and it looks as though it will be hurting it.

also one of the kittens always seem to be sitting in the middle of the room by itself when the rest are cuddling up.

i dont know were my kittens are going to the toilet there is nothing were they normaly hang about and it doesnt look like they are using the litter tray, will my cat be clearing up after them.

hi,
that behaviour is perfectly normal. it may look like the mum is hurting the kitten but its just her way of keeping them under control.
also if there is no sign of them using the litter tray then mum is proberly still cleaning them up. the mum does eat the kittens stools when they are very little.
is the litter tray close enough at hand for the little ones?
enjoy the kittens!
