Female cats always get abit funny or off with their kittens when the kittens get to a certain age, we had problems with this many times, but now we have a very peaceful house!

hiya!

I had the same problem a few years ago with one of my cats. When we had her "done" it seemed to take away here mothering side. making her less willing to put up with her babys playing around her.

this calmed down after a while though, as the kittens got abit older. although i would keep an eye on her for a while when she is around the kittens.

depending on how old the kittens are if they are still trying to feed from her... you may need to hand feed them. if they arn't on solids.

also some mothers are funny about the smell of there kittens. if they have been hadled alot they will not smell of her any longer. so she may not think they are hers.

Hope this is helpful. :)
