Answer 1

Yes it is maternal instinct.

On my husbands family farm we have a dominant mother cat who has had approximately 6 successful litters. All of her children help her take care of her new kittens. As well, she will also insist on helping her daugters out when they birth - showing them good nesting areas and checking up on them during the day, babysitting and even nursing each others litters if they have them close together. It's amazing how they interact with each other, but family is family, they stick together. Don't be surprised if more weird behaviours come of this!

She may just want her there for comfort, but they're like humans. Your always their children no matter how old you are!

Answer 2

Mother cats sometimes have weird behavior. I'd say she is due VERY soon. She is just being maternal. I had a momma cat who didn't like any cat, but when she was due she started licking every cat she could find!

Other odd new mother behavior:

I had a new mother and a due-to-kitten mother. The due-to-kitten mother (if I wasn't watching her) would steal one of the other mother's kittens and run with it and try to hide it. When she did have hers she STILL wanted the other mother's kittens and would get into her box the minute the other mother left it and nurse THOSE kittens, ignoring hers!

Another mother stole a larger kitten that another momma cat had and added it to her litter because it was the same color as her kittens! Everytime I put it back, she would go get it. I finally let her have it and just made sure the larger kitten was letting the smaller ones get milk.

You never know what to expect!

Answer 3

I would start getting them spayed, before you have too many cats to handle. that way you won't have to give them to shelters where they may or may not be adopted. Sounds like you have your hands full. (i manage a fixed/ vaccinated feral cat colony) I see this happen a lot with the cats. They are almost all female, and the matriarch of the group will act motherly toward the younger but grown cats it reared. before they were fixed, they had formed a nursery colony, and if a cat for some reason wouldn't care for the kittens, another momma would step in and feed them.

Answer 4

She's in a maternal mode and recognizes the other cat as "her baby" even if it's an older one. The problem is this older can can be a danger to the new kittens. Separate all other cats from the birthing mother.

Answer 5

i've two feminine cats that had litters a month aside right here lately ( i now have a residence filled with kittens lol) If shes no longer leaving the kittens and she or he simply had them its traditional dont be concerned. She will pop out and devour whilst she is aware of the kittens might be good enough. My first mama kitty didnt pop out to devour a pair hrs later and i used to be along with her the complete time she was once having them. Our moment mama kitty didnt pop out for 12+ hrs. Just dont be concerned. If it'll make u suppose greater mover a small bowl a meals and water practically wherein she is. Show them to her so she is aware of. Good good fortune!!

Answer 6

The mama cat is recognizing the grown-up cat as her offspring. I suggest you separate them, though. The older sibling may try to harm the newborn cats.

Answer 7

You have new help you say? I'm confused on what your question is to us.
