So.
One the cat just had 3 kittens today.

First one I found looked as if its entire top half was chewed right off. Wasn't quite sure what to make of it. But tossed it in the creek.
So checked on the other 2 kittens a few times. Mother cat was no where to be found around them. She didn't want anything to do with them. Similar to the last kitten she had.

One of them had a cleft lip. The other looked fine & healthy otherwise. Generally when there's abnormalities, I see most cats just stop taking care of them, or dump them somewhere.

Just now went to toss out fruit/veggie scraps. Checked on the kittens. Both of their heads were destroyed. Am thinking she didn't want to, or know how to mother them. So killed all her kittens.
She's a friendly cat, so I find it strange that she'd do that.
First time I've seen that too.

I'm a sick fuck so I took pictures & video of them dead. But I've been doing that for years. Some times that's the only memory I have of some cats, as I didn't get to take any pictures of them while they were alive.
Contemplating on putting video on YouTube. But possibly private, since a lot of people can be complete pansies on the matter. Rather than looking at it objectively/logically.
I've raised/taken care of over 30 kittens/cats over the years. Death is only a natural order of things.

Oh. Yea. I've been reading over the topic of mother cats killing their kittens.
Seems more common amongst feral rather than domesticated, but both have been noted to do it.
Mostly when birth defects or ill health is present.
