CATDOLL : Why cats eat kittens?

Reasons why cats eat kittens:

1. Cats are malnourished and cannot meet the nutritional needs of all kittens, so they will pick out the weaker kittens and eat them to supplement their own nutrition. The owner can feed the mother cat some nutritious food, such as pregnancy cat food, crucian carp soup, etc.

2. The kitten has the smell of other cats. The mother cat thinks it is not her own child and will bite it to death and eat it.

3. The mother cat suffers great shock after giving birth. She thinks the kittens are in danger and her own situation is also dangerous, so she will eat the kittens to save her life and replenish nutrition.

How to deal with cats eating kittens:

1. First of all, we must strengthen feeding management. The feed must contain sufficient protein, vitamins and minerals before and after delivery. Feed some foods rich in animal protein, such as fish, beef, pork, etc., and at the same time feed sufficient and clean drinking water.

2. Do not let other cats approach newborn kittens to prevent the kittens from being infected by the smell of other cats.

3. When a mother cat gives birth, she should be given careful care and the environment should be kept quiet to avoid frightening the mother cat.
