My female cat stole one of her sister's 3 wk old kittens. She raced away with it about 30 mins ago. I'm very upset and cannot find it. I'm worried the kitten will not survive now. Why would she do this? Will she bring it back?

They can do so sometimes so they too have someone to nurse and take care of. If she too has milk and DO take care of, this is not a big problem - fairly common in the nature or with cat moms living together.
Is the sister also with babies or about to give birth? Seems very unusual for female to take another's kitten. Did you find the kitten yet?
