My cat had a litter of kittens 12 weeks ago. I got mum neutered about 10days ago and was advised by the vet to separate the kittens and mum for a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the neutering so her milk would dry up. As the kittens were eating solids and not relying so much on mum, I separated them when I thought was best. I tried bringing her back into the room at least once a day so she could still see her kittens (not after the op)
Mum cat has always sat outside the door of the kittens, like she was guarding the room. Sniffing under the door etc.
It has been 10days now since the operation so slowly have started reintroducing her back to the kittens as I have decided to keep 2. At first she seemed to attack them, I let it slide thinking she is showing them she is the boss. But I think she is getting more aggressive, it doesn't look playful now. Plus she has gone for me 3 times, which she has never done! Even when she was a kitten, she never really scratched or bit anyone.
I'm not sure what to do now, do I keep trying to slowly reintroduce them? I don't want to any stress causes to either mum or the kittens. Can someone please advise me?
