[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 238313, member: 3739"] The worst and most sickening thing that could ever happen in the animal kingdom is when a mother uses the wrong method to wean her young. And that's killing them. A cat on our farm had three kittens, all very cute and playful creatures. When we first "met" her, she had previously two kittens following her around. One of them disappeared and we didn't know what happened to it until yesterday, with her second litter here. Poor Dad, he was the one who found out why. He found one of the kittens ("Simba", a really playful one, my favorite) dead. The little body wasn't stiff yet, and there were marks on the neck, marks of a cat's teeth.... the mother's. :shock: :cry: :cry: He mentioned it and said the little black and white one I found last year was also killed by this same cat, and she most likely ate it. I had to choose whether to keep the mom alive only to see another kitten bite the dust, or put momma down. We put momma cat down with a .22 rifle, leaving 2 orphans, Button and Blackie, to take care of. [/QUOTE]
