Wtf? I have a cat I keep in my shop for mice and it had a litter of kittens. It had them in a soggy area outside and they were soaked so I moved them to the shop bathroom in a cardboard box with the mother. Mother killed them ate them.

Never heard of a cat doing this. Is this normal? Not that I care cause now I don't have to try to give them away, but thought it was weird.

Me and your cat have something in common. Both like eating pussy.

I thought you meant the cat had a nasty litter box and then ate the contents.

No, don’t know anything about cats eating their own kitties

Dude, feed the poor bastard. Cats will eat ANYTHING, including dead people, if they’re starving. Maybe that’s why she ate her litter.

From Quora:
quote:

Cats will also kill their young if they feel stressed and unsafe. This sometimes occurs when humans try to move animals who have just given birth to a more convenient and safer place in the home - the animal chose the place they gave birth because that's where they felt safe, so humans moving them to a place they didn't choose (no matter how comfortable or safe that place is) can stress a mother animal out and cause her to kill her young.

This can also happen if the mother and babies are disturbed too much. Mother wants babies to be safely 'hidden' from everyone but the people and animals she trusts, so if the owners start allowing lots of visitors to come and see the new kittens (or puppies) then the mother can get very stressed and kill her own offspring if she cannot move them somewhere she feels safer.

YOU are the reason she ate the kittens.

Did you actually witness her eating them or just see them gone and assume she did?

Cats, dogs, and many other animals will kill the sick or weak young to ensure the survival of the stronger ones. It can also be due to stress, as stated above.
