My Cat is Suddenly Angry A Lot?

Cats no longer recognize their young as being their "children" once they are weaned. At this point they only become competition for food, attention, etc. My sisters cat did the same exact thing to the 2 kittens of her litter that she kept. It's normal. Give them more time, she'll get used to him again eventually. Just don't force it, let it be on her own terms. I would definately have her spayed and him neutered, you do not want them 2 procreating!

Cats, how sweet and human they can seem, are still mostly driven by instincts and one of them is to 'encourage' the kittens to get out and find a life on their own. As was mentioned already, it's competition. Why this instinct suddenly gets activated one day is hard to know.

It could change again, when Whitey is not seen anymore as son but as mate or friend - one instinct over another. I'd wait for a few months before making any big decision. They might end up as two cats trying to avoid each other most of the day but that's quite common in a household where a second cat is introduced at some poinmt. As long as they don't end in huge fights every day you could just accept the status quo and wait for better years.

Overweight cats can have heart problems and diabetes as well as kidney problems. Also, one of the common problems with overweight cats is that they become unable to urinate. This is something that isn't always noticed by the family because the cat knows it needs to urinate and will go outside or to the litter box and try to go but nothing happens. This causes a septic buildup that can cause death even with few or no noticeable symptoms before hand. Also, if your cat experienced kidney failure that could have caused rapid death. Our poodle had kidney failure and the first indication we had that she was sick was at about 10 in the morning. By 5 that evening she was dead. So if your cat's kidneys failed then he may not have been symptomatic until 10 or 11 at night and been dead by morning. I doubt that there is anything you could have done for him to help him especially with the death being so sudden and unexpected. That means there was something seriously wrong but does NOT mean that you overlooked symptoms or did anything wrong. From the sounds of it you did all you could for him to make sure he was healthy and happy.

My friend also kept a male cat from her mother cats litter, they got along fine for a little over a year and then Momma cat started attacking her son, it is natural because mother cats instinctively know that they need to drive thier sons away to avoid incest. If you get your male neutered it may help but it might not, so either way its normal for the mom to do this, if you kept a female there would be no probs. As it is your cat knows that her babies are supposed to be driven away especially the males, and she may never be nice to him again. It is sad because the boys dont know whats going on but it is natural for the mother and it is hard to break them of thier instincts.

Take her to the vet; sometimes when a cat is sick it will act very cranky and fight with the friend it normally cuddles with. I would say she might have a urinary tract infection -- one of the most common cat ailments, which can kill them if untreated but clears up quickly with antibiotics -- except that it's been going on for weeks. So I don't know what she might have, but I bet she isn't feeling well. Behavior changes like that often indicate the cat may be sick. I'd say take her to the vet ASAP.

that is so weird 'my cat does the exact same thing.i kept 2 of her kittens as they grew mom was not loveable;when they were kittens.about 6 months ago the mom hisses attacks and chases for nothing,the;ll try to ease on by and ;bam she gone... i scolded her i even picket her up and said no noooo bad kitty.i was seriously thinking about giving her to someone with a big house and only her.it;s not fair to the other 2 cats;;; mine calmed down a bit; good-luck i;m gonna see what answers says 4 you,,,,,

It could be that Missy hurts somewhere. Cats tend to hide pain as much as possible. It might be a good idea to have her checked by a vet.

How old is the kitten? It may be hormonal (for the mom), or perhaps he is trying to nurse and annoying her.
