Hi everyone..
Most of you know that my cat gave birth four kids almost month ago. Now they can move everywhere but cant run so fast as they are just month old. Their mom is really stupid, she never takes enough care of her kittens. She roams here and there and goes to neighbor's homes leaving her babies alone. She never stays near them for 10 minutes continuously. My parents and me take care of them when ever we can. Just today noon, she left her babies alone as my mom was busy on kitchen and me and father was not in home. A baby is missing from that time and i think she is eaten by fox or mongoose, the village children may kill her by beating....
Now her mother is searching her baby everywhere and uttering meow meow meow.... Seems that she is crying now. It has made me angry enough as she is searching her baby. Why she was too careless earlier even now to others three? Why she is regretting now? Stupid cat.

Hi Shibham, I have very less experience with cat, so i have no clue why this mom was not careful enough with her babies. But its very sad to know that one of her kitten went missing. She must have now realized the significance of caring her child. Now that their mom isn't careful enough, you all must make sure that the kittens are in safe place, so that rest of kittens don't go missing!
I hope you might have luck in finding the missing kitten!

Hi sweetme...
Thanks for your wishes friend. Actually this is her first time, so this may be a reason but i dont think as a mom knows whats mother care and love. Again, its hard to find the safe place as they can climb and crawl well, there mother should be stay with them as we provide foods to her.
There is no chance to regain that baby and if she does not change herself, then hard to save a single baby to her maturity.
Have a nice day.

Hi shibham,
Come on man, we men are more than careless at times what to talk about a cat. First thing the mother cat might had to go out to look for food for herself and for the kitties. Or the place where her lil ones are there is not secure. Or This could be her nature. with all the odds after all she is looking after her kitties.
As it is already one month the kittens are big enough to move around and out of curiosity one must have gone outing and possibly became a prey of crow or eagle. Or at the best might be around soon.

Hi boss...
Nice feelings to inform you that all kitties have been regained and they are living here but in two different families. two are in my home and another two in my neighbor's home. But stupid mom stays only in my home and you know, the other two kittens are still crying on next home and right now, i am hearing it.
Anyway, have a nice day.

Animals have their way and reasons to behave the way they do. You should not be angry with them. Some cats behave that way. You should accept this state of affairs and take care of her babies at the same time give enough love to the older one. She is missing her little one and that wining will last for a while. Hope you will do what you can so that the whole family is cared for.

You should keep a watch. May be the bigger cat is afraid of whoever is attacking her babies and so running away from there.Sometimes a tom cat comes and takes away the babies. I feel for you. I am fond of pets and I know what it is when we lose our pets. I had a tom cat who left our houme a long time ago. He has now come back but my dog is not letting him in.They were very friendly before. We loved that cat so much

Hi shibham
I can only assume that mom cat wanted to make the kitties to be independent, so they can fend for themselves later in their cat life, sadly too soon because they were only a month old.
She definitely feels his disappearance and is very sad, I do hope he is somewhere and safe for the kitties sake. Poor momma Cat and poor baby kitten, I hope out of some miracle he does return.

hello shiby,
I am not a Cat expert but like you said the kitten is one month old in this time the mother cat will wander around and try to find a place to hide her kitten or look for something to eat and if there are dangers around the place where she left her kittens this must be the reasons why she keep on leaving her kittens.
You know why your cat" meow" because she is telling you or your family that one of her kitten is missing (cat don't meow to other cat).
Instead of getting angry to her you should tapped her head and tell her that she should not left her kitten, talk to her in this way you help her
Cats can read their owner's mood,actions and can understand what your are saying though they cannot reply you back.
By the way don't call her stupid she is a cute one, Mom must be really busy that she did not notice some children or a fox is around.
Sad that one of the kitten is missing maybe the cat mom hide the kitten somewhere some cat do this.
have a great day!

No, i am seeing her same attitude from their birth. They are staying alone from their birth except the feeding time. There is no danger around where as she has no need to search food. We provide her foods.
When she found her one baby missing, then she should took care of others three but no, when another one is missing, she has no sense till now except the sound.
now other two are also not around me at this time.dont where are they? Did they follow their mother's step? if it is so, then i am also to miss them too.
have a nice day.

it is possible that they will look to their mom also but if the other two is missing better follow her you see her again you can trace down the kitten maybe she just hide it this is a normal to a mom cat as she trying to protect her kittens.
she is a cat (animal) not human so dont expect

Hi dude Animal's nature is not as same as humans as we think. They dont have the ability of thinking and making a decision as we do. though they have some emotional concept as you mentioned that the Mom Cat was uttering Meow Meow, But taking carelessness into consideration what you mentioned above shows the mom had no caring attitude towards her children and she has indeed learnt a lesson now. I am sure after her loss of baby The cat must have been always with her babies.

No no no.... she is still same and as i have mentioned above that she lost another one for her carelessness. those sounds are not to satisfy me that she is really missing her babies. Whatever she had to learn by previous lose, there is no change at all on her current attitude.
have a nice day.

How can she lose another one for her carelessness? a cat is a cat! you are the human who then is carelessly? kitten don't just go missing if you are keeping an eye on them...to me if my cat have kittens I would make sure they are all right! cat mother or not...it looks to me you are not looking after the kittens or mother cat for that matter.

Yes friend some parents are very careless and then if something is wrong with their child then more and more crying. The parents duty is to spend some time with their child and say what is wrong what is right. Heard child's problems and solve it rather than annoyed on them.
Why parent not understand child is wealth for parents. Without child no life. Ohhhhh sorry I think this story is about cat if yes tell me I was busy so I not read properly.

Lol! You seem to be expecting cats to behave like humans. =P I think they have their own ways or something maybe. I don't actually know hehe. I did not study animal behavior or anything like that. =P My point is just... they are felines, not humans. =P
Have a nice day! =)

She is not as stupid and careless as you think she is. She knows what she is doing. She knows when it is safe to go out and when she has to come back to feed them. She is crying because, despite your perceptions, she is very attached to her babies. She knows she is their mother.

Actually i think the mom cat like her kittens more than you think,i have kept cat when i was young and experienced several cases how cat mother like her babies,of course the mother cat cannot stay with the little kitten all the time and in fact the baby cat have been older enough to crawl and run on their own,they have one months old.in mu hometown when the cats or dogs reach this big the master will give or sent them to other kind men. When time of separation came the mother cat searched her baby everywhere and uttering meow meow meow miserably,it's her nature to be playful,but her still love her babies....
