Why does the mother cat always bite the kitten?
The mother cat bites the kitten because it is still young. The mother cat told the kitten what she couldn't do if she bit the kitten, or she would be punished. This is a way for the mother cat to educate the kitten in the process of its growth, and the owner does not need too much intervention. It is also possible that the kitten violated the bottom line of the mother cat, so the mother cat bit the kitten as a warning.

Lack of maternal love: Many cats don't care about their children as people think, and some cats may not fully accept being mothers. In addition, the kitten is particularly clingy, and will always follow her mother and even harass her, which makes her very annoyed.

Matters needing attention in feeding kittens

Kittens 2 to 5 months old are in the growing period. Fast growing kittens need more calories. Cats weighing 3-4 months after birth need 130-250 calories a day, after six months, 100 calories, and adult cats need 80 calories. In terms of nutrition, cats are basically carnivores, so they need more animal protein.

In addition, if calcium intake is insufficient, it will lead to incomplete growth of bones, teeth and claws, insufficient taurine will lead to blindness or heart disease, and insufficient vitamin A will lead to visual impairment or deterioration of skin condition. These nutrients can be given more. The demand for calcium during the development of young cats is 40% higher than that of adult cats.
