Three months ago my cat give birth to 4 kittens. Now she left all those kittens. I do not know where these kitten live now. It is just a selfish act by my cat.

Cats don't have emotions and motives like humans do- it is not possible for your cat to be "selfish." She simply acts on the survival instincts that are hardwired into her by nature. If you really cared, you'd get the cat spayed. If your cat has unwanted kittens, it's your fault, not your cat's.

I do have a cat, and have had several over the course of my life. What you seem to be missing is that intelligence is not the same thing as emotion. Yes, cats are intelligent. Yes, it can sometimes seem like they are manipulating us-but they are doing so because they have learned that it is a way to get food, shelter, etc. It isn't because of emotion, not in the sense that humans have emotion.

you obviously don't have a cat. As a cat owner, I can truly say that my cat has feelings and emotions. She surprisingly intelligent column more intelligent than you might think. I never thought cats were that smart or had such sophisticated intellect. She often shows emotion, demanding affection on her own terms. She quickly learns how to manipulate or owner for what she wants, but she also seems to be able to reason and make choices between two options. . When she looks at at me after she's done something she knows is wrong, you can clearly see in her eyes that she knows.

I don't understand, three month old kittens are old enough to be on their own, watch out Mom will be a Mom again before you know it. Are these cats outside, where you only see them once in a while or when you feed them. If so the kittens could have been killed by dogs or such.

If the cat moved her babies it was because she didn't feel they were safe. The trouble is she may have moved them somewhere where they all got killed. A Cat can only do the best her instinct tells her to do. If she came back to you that must mean something happened to the kittens. Just be happy she returned, many don't

You have no reason to be mad at your cat. One of the things mother cats do is leave their litters after a month. This makes them less dependant on her milk and forces them to take care of themselves. It may sound crul, but that's how animals grow. I can't be any more blunt then that.
