How terrible; you must be devastated! I have never heard of a case like this before; not something you would ever anticipate. I agree that it might be good to get the 3 year old checked at the vet...... It will be difficult telling the previous owner, but if you don't and she comes by unexpectedly to see her kitten......??? |

I am very sorry about this tragedy. Poor little kitten - a very strange thing for your female cat to do. ****HUGS**** |

well this is the strange part . when I showed her the dead kitten she went a bit berserk and scratched me then ran of to the top of the cupboard and refused to come down eventually she did I stroked her she growled at me which is quite out of character for this cat she is actually quite affectionate then shes disappeared out of the cat flap and I have not seen her since . What on earth goes through these cats minds is a complete mystery |

It is quite possible that she detected something wrong with the kitten ??? Had you taken the kitten to the vet for a checkup? |

Does anyone think, and this may be a bit 'out there' that the kitten had some sort of defect or illnesss that only the cat could sense? Just trying to make some sort of sense of this. |

How terribly said, I am so sorry for you. What a shock! I have had cats & kittens all my life, and worked with them too and have never, ever heard of a case like this. I agree that it is worth getting the cat checked out and asking the vets opinion on this. |

Just found this on another site Females which haven't given birth may treat kittens born to other females as prey. Pregnancy and birthing cause hormones which generally trigger maternal instinct. A female without kittens has not gone thorugh this process and the size and sound of the kittens triggers her hunting instincts. |

no I had not really had a chance to. As far as i knew the kitten was very heathy she had a very good appetite , used the tray . The girl who had her before actually had taken good care of her it was the first kitten i have ever had who did not have a single flea |
