The reasons why cats eat kittens:

1. Cats are not nutritious enough to meet the nutrition of all kittens, so they will pick out weaker kittens and eat them. To replenish nutrition for yourself, the owner can give the female cat some nutritious food, such as pregnancy cat food, crucian carp soup, etc.

2. If the kitten smells like other cats, the mother cat will bite it to death and eat it if it thinks it is not her own child.

3. The female cat suffers huge stimulation after giving birth. She thinks that the kitten is in danger and her own situation is also in danger, so she will eat the kitten to save her life and supplement her nutrition.

How to deal with cats eating kittens:

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

2. Do not let other cats get close to the newborn kitten to prevent the kitten from contracting the smell of other cats.

3. The female cat should be carefully cared for when giving birth, and pay attention to the quiet environment to avoid panic.
